How are fabrics grouped together?
Fabrics are produced in collections, which usually include anywhere from 15-35 pieces. These collections are usually based on a theme and include one or two main patterns, two or three secondary patterns, and several smaller patterns and textures. A collection often includes a stripe or plaid. These are all coordinated so that the patterns and the colors work together. Each collection has three or four colorways, which means that each pattern is produced in several colors, and the pieces within a colorway all work together. For instance, there may be a blue, a green and a red colorway, so that each pattern is printed in blue, red and green, or something that goes with those colors. Often the entire collection works together as well, so that fabrics can be intermingled between colorways. This helps quilters learn how to put fabrics together. P&B also produces groups of textures and basics, which may consist only of small simple patterns in a wide variety of colors.Back to Top .
