More than ever before, there is a tremendous selection of fabrics to choose from for your craft and fabric projects. How can you select the appropriate fabric? At J&O Fabrics, our customers have made it clear that the best category of fabrics to start out with is cotton novelty fabric.

With this blog we’re going to highlight ideas for using novelty fabrics for quilting. When you’re going to make a quilt, it is important to consider where it is going to be placed as well as what it will be used for. Taking these matters into account may influence your choice of fabric. Novelty cotton fabrics make wonderful additions to all quilt styles, regardless of whether you use the fabric for a patchwork quilt or as appliqué.

Working with a theme in mind may also simplify the quilt making process. If you are making a quilt for a child we have a wonderful selection of child-oriented novelty prints. For example, just choosing fabrics from our Disney section, you could make a Disney-themed quilt incorporating such characters as Bambi, Mickey Mouse and the princesses.

The greatest challenge for making a themed quilt is finding enough different fabric for your theme. When you shop online with J&O Fabrics you won’t have to fret over lack of variety. We carry at least 3,000 different novelty prints and daily receive new fabrics. These cotton novelty prints are arranged into 55 distinct categories in order to help you find exactly what you are looking for!

In future installments we’ll consider other uses for our cotton novelty fabrics.
