Everyone has their favorites and this year the results are in for the bestselling quilting fabrics of 2021. I’ve researched each of my most loved crafting sites and taken careful note of their bestsellers.
I’ve also researched coordinating fabrics to help you envision the potential of each print. Happy shopping!

Honorable Mention Quilting Cotton in Turquoise
I LOVE a bold floral print and this sensational Honorable Mention Quilting Cotton in Turquoise by The Confident Stitch ranks high on the list of best selling quilting fabric on the fabulous The Confident Stitch website.
This stunning 100% cotton print measures 108″ and so could work very well as a backing fabric (although I’m not sure I could resist putting it on the front of my quilt). The Confident Stitch recommends pairing it with some Kaffe Fassett fabric. I love Shot Cotton in Camelia and Pistachio as coordinating color options.
