Under the Same Sky by Kristy Kay for Moda Fabrics

Under the Same Sky is the debut Moda fabric collection from artist and textile designer Kristy Kay of With Love by Kristy.

Kristy's artwork draws inspiration from mid-century design, 1960s illustration, folk art and her lifelong love of color and storytelling. Under the Same Sky brings those influences together in a playful collection filled with stars, glowing moons, colorful houses, celestial motifs and bold geometric shapes.

The palette is especially distinctive, combining brilliant turquoise and teal with orange, mango, yellow, red and softer cream tones.

Celestial Folk-Art Fabric with a Positive Message

Under the Same Sky is built around the idea of togetherness—wherever we are, we all rest beneath the same sky.

That idea comes through beautifully in the collection's imagery. Stars, moons, suns, birds, houses and colorful geometric forms create a whimsical world that feels simultaneously nostalgic and modern.

The artwork has a strong folk-art quality, while the saturated orange, yellow, turquoise and teal palette gives it a distinctly mid-century-inspired personality.

Rather than limiting this collection to a particular holiday, the celestial imagery and message of togetherness make these fabrics useful for quilts, wall hangings, children's projects, gifts and colorful home décor throughout the year.

Under the Same Sky 1-Yard Fabric Panels

The two 36" × 44" one-yard panels are the centerpiece of Under the Same Sky.

Peace on Earth Panel – 16758-11

The Peace on Earth panel, 16758-11, features a large folk-art scene filled with colorful geometric buildings, stars, a crescent moon, a smiling sun and other celestial motifs against a deep teal background.

The words “Peace on Earth” anchor the design and give the panel a positive message that works beautifully for a wall hanging, quilt center, holiday project or meaningful handmade gift.

Because the artwork already provides such a dramatic focal point, the panel gives quilters a starting place for creating an impressive project without having to piece the central design.

Under the Same Sky Panel – 16757-11

The second one-yard panel, 16757-11, measures 36" × 44" and provides several individual designs.

It includes a 30" × 30" large block featuring a colorful nighttime village beneath the moon and stars, along with three 9½" × 9½" smaller celestial blocks.

Use the large design as the center of a quilt or wall hanging, incorporate the smaller blocks into coordinating projects, or separate the motifs to create several smaller handmade pieces from a single panel.

Colorful Coordinating Prints

Beyond the panels, Under the Same Sky includes 12 coordinating 100% premium cotton prints.

The designs carry elements of the panels throughout the collection with stars, birds, houses, diamonds, geometric forms and small celestial motifs.

Some prints are light and airy on cream backgrounds, while others use intense turquoise, teal, orange and red. This variation gives quilters both statement fabrics and quieter coordinates to use around the highly detailed panels.

The bold diamond and geometric prints are particularly effective for borders, bindings and graphic patchwork, while the smaller celestial prints can work throughout pieced blocks without competing with the panel artwork.

Under the Same Sky Moda Precuts

Under the Same Sky is being offered in a select group of Moda precut formats.

Depending on availability, shop Under the Same Sky Fat Quarter Bundles, Layer Cakes and Charm Packs.

The precut assortments do not include the two panels, so add your favorite panel separately if you want to build a quilt or other project around one of the collection's focal designs.
