Songbird Sparkle from Sparkler Basics by Melissa Mortenson for Riley Blake

The plus signs are scattered just enough that it reads as a fun texture rather than a busy print, and the gold tone is warm without being overpowering. I used it for a quilt back and the weave feels sturdy but still soft to the touch. Cut straight too, which saved me some headache.

I was worried the gold would be too flashy, but it's actually a subtle shimmer that adds just the right pop to my quilt blocks. The fabric feels soft and has held up well through washing.

The plus sign pattern is so versatile that it works just as well for a modern quilt as it does for a simple tote bag I whipped up. The fabric has a nice, firm hand that makes cutting and piecing feel really precise, and the gold accents add just the right amount of pop without being too flashy.
