Fall is one of my favorite seasons to quilt for—the cozy colors, the warm textures, and of course, the excuse to start all the autumn projects. Whether you’re making a table runner for your living room, a seasonal mini quilt, or even a playful Halloween quilt, fall quilting fabric collections always bring a special warmth.

This year, I’ve spotted a collection of fall fabric lines from some of our favorite designers—perfect for sewing up beautiful projects. Even better? There’s a free pattern coming soon as part of a mystery quilt along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop, complete with a step-by-step video tutorial. I’ll be quilting right along with it!

I joined them a few years back with halloween theme and Christmas ones, but this time round it’ll be fall-themed!

✨ Autumn & Fall Quilting Fabric Highlights

Here are some stunning new releases and timeless brands that shine in fall quilting:

• Riley Blake Designs – The Awe of Autumn by Sandy Gervais –  are full of earthy oranges, rustic browns, and minty greens. These are the fabrics I’ll be using in the upcoming mystery quilt along.

• Moda Fabric – Autumn Forest, the rich warm colors are so cozy!
• Andover Fabrics – Autumn Woods is a beautiful earthy collections too.

• Wilmington Prints – Glorious Fall  – a seasonal collection filled with pumpkins, leaves, and trucks that are ideal for table runners or cozy living room throws. Check out the panels too! I love a beautiful panel for a quick project.

• Or if you love batiks or want to add to your current collections of fall fabrics, check out all the fall theme batiks by Hoffman Fabrics HERE>. 

With so many options, it’s hard to pick just one! Personally, I love mixing and matching layer cakes and fat quartersfrom different brands—it keeps things interesting and truly unique.
