Fabric Play books and kits- A new customer favorite at Main Street Quilting Co. is our Fabric Play book. Each pattern is beautiful, quick, and fun, but best of all, versatile. Fabric Play was designed around the concept of changing the fabric for a new quilt. Well illustrated and easy to follow instructions have made it a go-to book for experimenting with fabrics you love. Kits are available in two colorways for our three most popular designs.
Some of our current Fabric Play samples in store:
One yard cuts- Looking for a fabric to build a project around? Do fat quarters not cut it for you? We now have pre-cut yards of fabric available in both batiks and regular cotton!
