Corsage Fabric & Precuts by Ruby Star Society

Corsage by Jen Hewett of Ruby Star Society

Corsage is a modern fabric collection with its heart firmly rooted in the past.

Designed by Jen Hewett of Ruby Star Society for Moda Fabrics, Corsage draws inspiration from the formal living and dining rooms Jen remembers from childhood—the rooms reserved for good china, special gatherings, treasured furnishings, and important family moments.

Old photographs and memories of women wearing corsages to special occasions contribute another layer of nostalgia.

Jen translates those memories into a decidedly modern collection through confident color, expressive florals, graphic bows and ribbons, and playful coordinates.

It's vintage inspiration viewed through a modern design lens.

Vintage Interiors Meet Modern Quilting Fabric

Corsage demonstrates why modern quilting fabric doesn't have to mean stark geometrics or minimalist design.

Its inspiration comes from vintage table linens, wallpaper, upholstery, flowers, family photographs, and interiors associated with another era.

But rather than simply reproducing vintage textiles, Corsage reinterprets them.

Goldenrod meets Eggplant. Sorbet sits beside Dark Teal. Sprout and Skylark introduce fresh greens and blues. Persimmon and Creamsicle add warmth.

The result is fabric that feels nostalgic without looking old-fashioned—a combination that works beautifully in contemporary quilts, modern patchwork, bags, home décor, and statement sewing projects.

Front Parlor

Front Parlor captures the collection's connection to the formal rooms and interiors that inspired Corsage.

Available in colors including Sorbet, Sprout, and Dark Teal, this focal design brings expressive floral character to the collection.

Use Front Parlor in larger quilt pieces when you want more of the design to remain visible, or let it become a focal print surrounded by Corsage's smaller florals, bows, ribbons, and dots.

Large-scale prints can also be beautiful in bags, pillows, borders, and home décor where the fabric has room to make a statement.

Corsage Florals

The collection's namesake Corsage print celebrates flowers in a bold, graphic way.

Colorways such as Goldenrod, Sorbet, and Eggplant show how dramatically a floral can change personality depending on its background and palette.

Rather than relying on traditionally soft floral colors, these combinations give the collection a more confident modern identity.

Nosegay, Tiny Tulips and Baby's Breath

Corsage includes several floral scales and personalities rather than relying on one repeated flower.

Nosegay evokes a small gathered bouquet.

Tiny Tulips introduces one of the most recognizable garden flowers at a smaller scale.

Baby's Breath adds another delicate floral coordinate.

Together, these designs give quilters flexibility. Larger floral prints can become focal points while smaller flowers can move into detailed patchwork without losing the collection's botanical character.

This variety of scale is particularly useful when working with many prints in a single quilt.

Bows and Ribbons

Flowers aren't the only stars of Corsage.

Bows and Ribbons introduce playful graphic motifs that reinforce the collection's themes of corsages, gifts, dressing up, celebrations, and special occasions.

Bows appear in colors including Natural, Persimmon, Sprout, and Teal, while Ribbons brings additional Creamsicle, Persimmon, and Skylark into the mix.

These prints can add a whimsical counterpoint to the florals and help keep a project from feeling overly botanical.

Swatch Dots

Swatch Dots gives Corsage a graphic coordinate that is easy to mix throughout patchwork.

Available in colorways including White on Natural, Multi, Sorbet, and Teal, the dots provide visual breathing room beside the collection's more expressive florals.

Dots are particularly useful in quilts because they can behave almost like a basic while still adding movement and personality.

Pair them with Front Parlor or the namesake Corsage print when you want to balance a larger-scale design with something quieter.

The Colors of Corsage

Color is one of Corsage's greatest strengths.

Rather than relying on a predictable floral palette, the collection moves through colors such as:

Sorbet – a fresh, sweet pink

Goldenrod – a rich, warm yellow

Eggplant – a dramatic deep purple

Galaxy – a deep, saturated dark tone

Sprout – a lively green

Dark Teal and Teal – saturated blue-green tones

Skylark – a fresh blue

Persimmon – a warm orange-red

Creamsicle – a softer warm orange

Natural – a grounding neutral

These colors allow Corsage to feel simultaneously retro and contemporary.

Use the collection together for the full Ruby Star Society color experience, or choose a smaller group of colorways to create a more controlled palette.

Corsage for Modern Quilting

Corsage is an excellent example of modern quilting fabric that still has warmth, history, and personality.

Use it in bold geometric quilts where the florals create contrast against strong block shapes.

Try it in oversized patchwork that allows Front Parlor and Corsage florals to remain prominent.

Mix its smaller flowers, bows, ribbons, and dots into more detailed piecing.

Or create a scrappy modern quilt that lets unexpected color combinations become part of the design.

Corsage Precuts

Corsage is available in several popular precut formats, making it easy to bring the collection's broad range of prints and colors into one project.

Shop Fat Quarter Bundles, Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, Charm Packs, and Mini Charm Packs.

Fat Quarter Bundles provide larger pieces and maximum flexibility when cutting blocks or selecting particular motifs.

Jelly Rolls contain 2.5" strips for strip piecing and other precut-friendly designs.

Layer Cakes contain 10" squares, giving Corsage's larger prints more room to shine.

Charm Packs contain 5" squares for classic and modern patchwork.

Mini Charm Packs contain 2.5" squares for small-scale piecing and projects that use lots of little pops of color.

Corsage for Quilts, Bags and Home Décor

Corsage isn't limited to bed quilts.

Its connection to vintage interiors makes it especially appealing for projects designed to become part of a room.

Use larger florals for pillows and statement pieces. Turn bows, ribbons, tulips, and dots into bags or accessories. Combine several prints in table décor, wall hangings, or other home sewing projects.

The contrast between nostalgic motifs and modern color gives Corsage enough personality to make even a relatively simple project feel distinctive.
