Cotton Quilting Fabric – Quilting Cotton by the Yard
Why Quilters Use 100% Cotton
Quilting cotton is the standard for a reason. It's a medium-weight plain weave that cuts cleanly, holds a crisp ¼" seam, presses flat and stays put while you sew. It's breathable, it washes well, and it softens over years of use, which is why the quilts made with it get handed down. Most quilting cotton is about 44"–45" wide.
What You'll Find in Our Cotton Fabric
- Prints – florals, novelty, holiday and blender prints from current collections, from tiny ditsies to big focus prints.
- Solids – Kona Cotton, Colorworks and more for backgrounds, sashing and binding. Shop Kona solids or all solid quilting fabric.
- Batiks – tightly woven, hand-dyed cotton with rich, mottled color from Island Batik and others.
- Wide backing – 108" cotton for backing a quilt in one piece. Shop wide quilt backing.
- Muslin and canvas – plain muslin for backgrounds and practice blocks, and heavier canvas for bags.
How to Spot Good Quilting Cotton
Shopping online means you can't feel the bolt, so look for a few things. Quality quilting cotton has a tight, even weave that isn't see-through when you hold it up to the light. The color goes through to the back instead of sitting on the surface, and it comes from an established quilting mill. Cheaper cottons are often thinner, fray more and shrink unevenly.
