### A Collection Worth Celebrating A new collection from Fig Tree & Co. is always worth celebrating, and this one is as sweet and savory as its name! Butternut & Sage by Fig Tree & Co. for Moda Fabrics is warm and welcoming, and Kimberly shared it in all its gourd-geous glory during the Behind the Seams livestream on Friday, August 28th. If you missed it, don't worry—the replay is available below, along with a closer look at all the lovely fabrics in this collection. You'll also get a peek at the Golden Hour Jolly Bar Quilt, made with the free pattern included in your Butternut & Sage Jolly Bar! ### A Closer Look at Butternut & Sage Fig Tree & Co. dressed this collection in cozy shades of golden mustard, sage, and cinnamon, perfect for savoring slow afternoons at your sewing machine. Scoop up your favorite prints by the yard or grab a Layer Cake, Charm Pack, or Jelly Roll and get to stitching your next fall quilt in a snap. The warm, earthy tones evoke the crispness of autumn, making it ideal for projects that bring comfort and nostalgia. - **Golden mustard**: Adds a sunny pop to any quilt. - **Sage**: A calming green that grounds the palette. - **Cinnamon**: A rich, spicy brown that ties it all together. ### 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 a beginner-friendly design, though we recommend skipping the starch since most of our 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 will need for the quilt top and binding. Pick up the matching backing set for a colorful and cozy finish to this fall quilt. The quilt finishes at approximately 60 inches by 72 inches—perfect for snuggling on chilly evenings. The star blocks are set on point, creating a dynamic layout that captures the essence of golden hour. ### 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**: A stunning starburst design that puts a fresh spin on traditional quilting techniques.

Each pattern is available individually, with prices ranging from $12.98 to $29.98.
