Cardinal Tidings Christmas Fabric by Wilmington Prints

Christmas Quilts Start with Cardinals and Poinsettias

Cardinal Tidings gives you a striking starting point for a Christmas quilt: its large panel. Frame the panel with the collection’s repeating striped border print, then use the poinsettias, cardinals, and coordinating prints to carry the design into pieced blocks or additional borders. The damask, plaid, snowflakes, berries, and tonals add variety while keeping the finished project connected to the central scene.

If you are planning a project around a favorite motif, browse more cardinal fabrics, poinsettia fabrics, snowflake fabrics, and Christmas fabrics. You can also find coordinating looks among our berry prints, damask fabrics, plaids and ginghams, and tonals.

Choose Yardage or Precuts for Your Project

Shop Cardinal Tidings yardage for the panel, border, and prints you want to feature. Wilmington’s precut options make it easy to start a pieced project: 5 Karat Crystals contain 5-inch squares, 10 Karat Crystals contain 10-inch squares, and 40 Karat Crystals contain 2½-inch strips. Match those cuts with Charm Pack friendly patterns, Layer Cake friendly patterns, and Jelly Roll friendly patterns.
