September’s Fabric of the Month is Color Play by Patti Carey of Patti’s Patchwork for Northcott, and wow are we excited to share it with you!

Each of the 6 unique “quilt block” motifs was chosen to learn/practice a particular free-motion quilting skill or technique that Patti teaches in her popular FMQ workshops. Large-scale 7″ motifs complement the dahlia in the panel, and smaller-scale 5″ versions are shown in the running-yardage coordinate. A wavy stripe panel, rainbow ombre and rainbow stripe inspire quilters to play with these unique fabrics. Large and small polka dots as well as tonal dots round out this happy collection and create lots of options for bright colorful quilts and projects.
