Colorful Floral Fabrics Inspired by Summer

Flowers are at the heart of Coastal Breeze. The collection includes several distinctive floral designs, from the expressive Morning Glory and Blossom prints to the charming Tulip and Posie coordinates.

Morning Glory fabrics provide larger floral designs that make beautiful focal points in quilt blocks. Blossom and Tulip prints introduce additional floral variety, while the smaller Posie designs are especially useful for patchwork, borders, and coordinating pieces.

These colorful flowers appear alongside soft backgrounds and refreshing shades of blue, aqua, coral, pink, and green. The combination creates a cheerful floral collection that feels equally at home in spring and summer quilting projects.

Coastal Breeze Gingham, Dots, Pinwheels, and Coordinating Prints

The coordinating fabrics are just as important as the larger florals. Coastal Breeze includes classic ginghams, scattered dots, pinwheel designs, and Harbor prints that provide contrast and balance throughout a quilt.

The Gingham prints offer a timeless checked design in Cantaloupe, Pistachio, Hometown Sky, and Stone. Dots add playful texture, while Pinwheel and Harbor prints introduce additional movement and geometric interest.

These smaller-scale designs make excellent companions for the larger flowers. They work beautifully in pieced blocks, sashing, borders, bindings, and projects where a variety of print scales creates visual interest.

Coastal Breeze Fabric Colors and Yardage

Coastal Breeze combines warm and cool colors in a palette inspired by flowers, gardens, and summer skies.

Coral, Cantaloupe, and Sweet Pea bring warmth and brightness. Hometown Sky and Teal introduce refreshing blue and aqua tones, while Pistachio and Fresh Grass provide lively greens. Cloud and Stone offer versatile light and gray neutrals that balance the brighter colors.

Choose larger florals for focal fabrics, smaller prints for patchwork, and coordinating yardage for borders, bindings, backgrounds, and quilt backings.

Coastal Breeze Magnolia Cheater Panel – 60" Wide

One of the most distinctive fabrics in this collection is the Coastal Breeze Cloud Magnolia Cheater Panel (37748-11), a 60"-wide fabric featuring colorful patchwork-style star blocks.

A cheater print is fabric printed to resemble individually pieced quilt blocks. It creates the appearance of intricate patchwork without requiring every shape to be cut and sewn separately.

The Magnolia cheater print is particularly appealing for quilt backing. Instead of using a plain backing fabric, you can create the appearance of a second patchwork quilt on the reverse side. Its 60" width may also reduce the number of backing seams needed for appropriately sized projects.

This versatile fabric can also be used on the front of a quick quilt or incorporated into wall hangings and other projects where you want the look of colorful pieced star blocks with less sewing.

Moda has identified eight coordinating Bella Solids that complement the Coastal Breeze collection. These solid fabrics provide excellent options for quilt backgrounds, borders, bindings, sashing, and additional piecing.

The recommended coordinating colors are:

• Off White (9900-200) – A versatile light neutral that allows the colorful florals to stand out.

• Cantaloupe (9900-296) – A warm peach-orange that complements the collection's coral tones.

• Sweet Pea (9900-387) – A cheerful pink that coordinates with the orchid and floral prints.
