When it comes to neutrals, most quilters tend to use black or white fabrics for borders, sashing, and background fabrics. But have you ever thought of giving gray fabric a try? We have hundreds of gray fabrics to choose from in shades of ash, cement, charcoal, cloud, dolphin, fog, greige, iron, pewter, platinum, silver, smoke, steel, stone & more!
Using grey fabric in a quilt can add depth, contrast, and visual interest. Often associated with modern quilt designs, gray fabric can be your go-to for experimenting with geometric shapes, minimalistic patterns, and negative space.
For instance, different shades of solid gray fabric can be used to create a stunning monochromatic quilt. To create an ombre effect, arrange grey fabric in a gradient, transitioning from light to dark or vice versa. Or, you could even mix different textures of gray fabric, such as solids, prints, and even textured fabrics like linen or chambray, to add depth and variety to your quilt project.
For a subtle, neutral backdrop that gives other colors the spotlight, try using light or medium gray fabric as a background for your quilt. Particularly if you are working with brighter or bolder colors, using grey fabric will highlight specific elements of your quilt design and add visual interest.
You can also use gray fabric for the sashing between quilt blocks, or as borders. Last but not least, try using grey fabric for your quilt binding. This can provide a finishing touch that complements the overall color scheme of the quilt.
Whether you are looking for gray fabric by the yard or convenient precuts, we have plenty of options from your favorite brands and designers. You can use the filters to browse solid gray fabric or grey fabric patterns ranging from novelty to textured, tone on tone, and more. You’ll even find grey and white fabric prints that are great for mixing and matching!

If you are new to using grey quilt fabric, choosing the right quilt pattern can make all the difference. Popular patterns that look stunning with grey fabric include the classic Log Cabin, Flying Geese, or even a simple square patchwork design.
