This New Fabric Collection Is About to Steal Your Fall Quilting Heart

Michael Miller · 2026-10-15

### A Collection That Feels Like Fall Fig Tree & Co. has done it again. Their latest collection for Moda Fabrics, Butternut & Sage, is like a warm hug on a crisp autumn day. With cozy shades of golden mustard, sage, and cinnamon, it's the perfect palette for savoring slow afternoons at your sewing machine. Kimberly shared the whole collection during our Behind the Seams livestream on Friday, August 28th, and let's just say it was gourd-geous. If you missed it, don't worry—we've got the replay and a closer look at all the lovely fabrics right here. ### What Makes Butternut & Sage Special This collection is all about warmth and welcome. The prints are designed to evoke the feeling of a bountiful harvest and the comfort of home. Whether you're an experienced quilter or just starting out, these fabrics are easy to work with and forgiving for beginners. You can scoop up your favorite prints by the yard or grab a Layer Cake, Charm Pack, or Jelly Roll to get stitching your next fall quilt in a snap. The versatility means you can use them for quilts, table runners, or even home decor accents. ### The Golden Hour Jolly Bar Quilt One of the highlights of this collection is the Golden Hour Jolly Bar Quilt. Made with the free pattern included in your Butternut & Sage Jolly Bar, this quilt features star blocks that seem to radiate late-afternoon light. The pattern 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 as well as all the fabrics you'll need for the quilt top and binding. Pick up the matching backing set for a colorful and cozy finish to this fall quilt. > "The Golden Hour quilt is like capturing the last warm rays of the day in fabric—it's pure magic." — Kimberly, Behind the Seams ### 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. ### Get Your Hands on Butternut & Sage This collection is available now at Fat Quarter Shop.
