I’ve never been much of a fan of quilts, and I’ve never even remotely considered making one. But give me a free afternoon and you just might find me at the nearest quilting store looking for fabulous new fabrics to use in various home projects. I wouldn’t recommend quilting weight fabrics for heavy upholstery, but there’s no law against using them for curtains, pillows, art, etc. So when I discovered that…
- Mod Green Pod makes organic quilting weight fabrics, and
- That those fabrics are less than $9 a yard (at least at this retailer, compared to $39.75/yard for upholstery weight fabrics)
…I thought I was in heaven!
You can get some of MGP’s gorgeous patterns like Aspire, Bloom and Delight in bright new colorways. There are also a few new patterns that I hadn’t seen before, and I’m equally captivated by those! The fabrics are available in Spring, Summer and Garden collections, each with coordinating color palettes for easy quiltmaking. While I don’t plan on using them for this purpose, I can think of at least a dozen other ways I could use them around the house. And at this price for organic fabrics from a company that is committed to sustainability, you better believe I’ll be taking advantage of the deal!
Why It’s Green:
- Made of U.S.-grown organic cotton
- Printed with non-toxic, low-impact inks
Price: $8.25/yard

I just ordered some fabric for my kitchen. I’m making a no sew valance that will reveal a shelf above my sink when opened

I picked up some fabric to reupholster an old desk chair. It was perfect. Quick ship too! Thanks!
