Blue and White Classics

Blue and white never goes out of style. Moda's Dottie White Medium Dots on Blue is a go-to binding, Stacy Iest Hsu's My Secret Garden Checks Sky adds cottage charm, and our yarn-dyed Nantucket Patchwork Blue madras is made for summer shirts and quilts. For texture, 3 Sisters' Breathtaking Blues Mochi Linen Midnight brings blue florals to a linen blend.

Jinny Beyer's Malam Batiks for RJR are rich, hand-dyed batiks full of blues, teals and jewel tones. Start a quilt fast with the Malam Batiks VII 5x5 Pack or the Malam Batiks VI Lights and Brights Patty Cake.

Holiday and Novelty Blues

For a cheerful Christmas, Erica Ilene's Jingle All The Way Aqua for Dear Stella features holiday cats on a bright aqua ground. See more in our Christmas fabric collection.

Pairing Blue Fabric

Blue works with almost everything. Pair it with white or cream for a classic look, yellow for a cheerful contrast, green for a coastal feel, gray for a modern palette, or pink for a soft, romantic quilt. Navy with red makes a striking patriotic quilt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between navy, royal and sky blue?
Navy is a deep, dark blue; royal is a bright, saturated blue; and sky blue is a soft, light blue. Mixing light, medium and dark blues adds depth to a quilt.

Will dark blue fabric bleed?
Deep navies and indigos can release dye in the first wash. Prewash in cold water with a color catcher sheet, especially before pairing them with white.

How can I match blue shades when shopping online?
Screen colors vary, so if a match is important, visit our Richmond, TX store to compare fabrics side by side, or contact us for help.
