Fable & Fern Fabric and Precuts by Moda Fabrics

Discover Fable & Fern by Watercolour Heart for Moda Fabrics

Fable & Fern by Watercolour Heart for Moda Fabrics brings the charm of an illustrated woodland storybook to quilting cotton. Delicate forest animals, graceful botanical designs, berries, brambles, ferns, and classic ginghams create a collection filled with gentle character and timeless appeal.

Inspired by the quiet magic of the forest, Fable & Fern features deer, foxes, rabbits, and badgers surrounded by wild strawberries, acorns, and winding foliage. Its nostalgic, watercolor-inspired artwork combines detailed animal illustrations with coordinating prints that are easy to mix in traditional and modern patchwork.

A beautiful palette of Eggshell, Golden, Sage, Indigo, Rose, and Stone makes Fable & Fern especially appealing for woodland quilts, baby quilts, nursery décor, cottage-inspired projects, and handmade gifts.

Woodland Animal Fabric Inspired by Classic Storybooks

Deer, Foxes, Rabbits, and Badgers

Fable & Fern celebrates the gentle beauty of woodland wildlife through detailed illustrations of deer, foxes, rabbits, and badgers.

The collection's Beneath the Trees and Fawns Fables designs bring these forest creatures into delicate, storybook-inspired scenes. The illustrated animals add personality to quilts while creating a nostalgic feeling reminiscent of classic children's books.

These prints are especially beautiful in baby quilts, children's quilts, nursery accessories, wall hangings, and projects that allow the woodland artwork to remain visible.

Woodland Floor Fancy and Botanical Prints

The Woodland Floor Fancy designs capture the intricate beauty of the forest floor, bringing together natural details and graceful botanical imagery.

Pair these prints with the collection's animal illustrations to create quilts that feel cohesive without repeating the same motif throughout every block.

Berry & Bramble Fabrics

Fable & Fern's Berry & Bramble prints introduce wild berries, winding stems, and delicate woodland foliage.

Available in coordinating Eggshell and Rose colorways, these botanical fabrics add gentle movement and visual interest to patchwork quilts, borders, and handmade accessories.

Fern Trail and Woven Pine Coordinates

The Fern Trail prints feature graceful botanical motifs in Eggshell, Golden, Sage, Indigo, and Rose.

Woven Pine coordinates, available in Sage and Indigo, provide additional nature-inspired options for balancing the more detailed woodland illustrations.

Use these prints in quilt blocks, borders, sashing, bindings, and backgrounds to create beautiful combinations of forest animals and botanical designs.

Cabin Gingham Fabrics

The Cabin Gingham prints introduce classic checks in Golden, Stone, and Rose.

Gingham provides a lovely geometric contrast to the collection's organic floral and animal illustrations. These versatile fabrics are especially useful for traditional patchwork, quilt borders, bindings, pillows, bags, and cottage-inspired sewing projects.

Fable & Fern Fabric Colors and Coordinating Possibilities

Fable & Fern features a carefully coordinated woodland palette inspired by nature.
