David Wilson · 2026-10-15

Fig Tree & Co. has done it again. Their new Butternut & Sage collection for Moda Fabrics is like a warm hug on a crisp autumn day—cozy, inviting, and full of charm. Kimberly introduced it during our Behind the Seams livestream on August 28th, and if you missed it, don't worry. We've got the replay and a closer look at every lovely fabric, plus a peek at the Golden Hour Jolly Bar Quilt that's sure to become your new favorite. ### A Closer Look at Butternut & Sage This collection is dressed in shades of golden mustard, sage, and cinnamon—colors that make you want to curl up with a cup of cider and sew the afternoon away. Whether you prefer to scoop up prints by the yard or grab a pre-cut bundle like a Layer Cake, Charm Pack, or Jelly Roll, you'll find everything you need to stitch your next fall quilt in a snap. ### The Golden Hour Jolly Bar Quilt Late-afternoon light seems to radiate from each star block in the Golden Hour Jolly Bar Quilt. The free pattern included with your Butternut & Sage Jolly Bar is beginner-friendly, though we recommend skipping the starch since most Jolly Bar patterns don't leave room for shrinkage. Want to make your quilt just like ours? The Golden Hour Quilt Kit includes the pattern and all the fabrics for the quilt top and binding. Pick up the matching backing set for a colorful and cozy finish. ### Patterns Made for Butternut & Sage Fig Tree & Co. designed four fun patterns to pair with this collection, each one showcasing the versatility of these fall fabrics: - Gathering Baskets turns a Layer Cake into basket blocks with autumn leaf and acorn accents. - Plough & Harvest offers three block sizes made from a Layer Cake or Charm Pack. - Olivander features a flock of wise owls and includes a mini version alongside the main quilt. - Autumn Sun rounds out the lineup with a stunning starburst design that puts a fresh spin on traditional quilting techniques. Can't pick just one? Joanna's Butternut & Sage Pattern Set bundles all four together, so your whole harvest is ready to sew. > "This collection is like a walk through an autumn farmer's market—warm, inviting, and full of inspiration." — Kimberly So whether you're a seasoned quilter or just starting out, Butternut & Sage has something for everyone. Head to your favorite quilt shop to grab the collection, and don't forget to share your creations with us on social media. Your golden hour is just a few seams away!
