America the Beautiful Fabric by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics

Classic Americana by Judie Rothermel

America the Beautiful brings patriotic motifs and traditional coordinating prints together in a collection designed by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics. Flags and stars establish its Americana character, while moons, dots, and leaf stripes provide variety for pieced blocks, borders, and finishing details.

Choose a favorite flag or star print as the focus of your project, then introduce smaller coordinates around it. The mix of motifs offers plenty of possibilities for a patriotic quilt, seasonal table runner, or welcoming wall hanging.

Stars, Stripes, and Coordinates for Patchwork

Small stars, diamond stars, dots, and leaf stripes give you different print scales to work with throughout your design. Feature a larger motif where its details remain visible, then use smaller prints in narrow strips or compact patchwork pieces.

Look for differences in lightness and print density when arranging your fabrics. Clear contrast helps define individual shapes in nine-patch, churn dash, star, and log cabin blocks.

Explore our patchwork patterns and books and Log Cabin patterns to find a layout for your favorite combination.

America the Beautiful Yardage and Precuts

Our planned assortment includes fabric by the yard, 10-inch squares, and 2½-inch strips. Yardage lets you select the amount needed for a featured print, background, border, binding, or backing. Coordinated precuts provide a convenient starting point for projects that combine multiple fabrics.

Use the 10-inch squares with Layer Cake friendly patterns, and pair the 2½-inch strips with Jelly Roll friendly patterns. Check the package quantity and your pattern’s requirements before purchasing.
