Dinah’s Delight - Small Floral Natural - by Betsy Chutchian - Moda - Quilting Cotton Fabric

Every quilt has a story. Dinah’s Delight was inspired by a vintage quilt from the 1800s, an antique that began as two separate quilts and was later joined together. Its mysterious past sparked questions about where it came from and why it was made that way.

The collection is named in honour of the designer’s ancestor Dinah Crisler Carpenter (1762-1836), who lived in Culpeper County, Virginia, during a pivotal period in American history and raised fourteen children. Two ideas run through the collection, “Dinah’s Dilemma” and “Gentleness”, reflecting colonial life and a spirit of resilience.

The prints capture the timeless charm of heritage quilts and invite you to weave your own story into what you make. They coordinate beautifully, so you can build quilts full of tradition, whether you’re making a keepsake, a gift or a quilt for everyday use.

It’s premium 100% cotton fabric, soft and breathable. It presses smoothly, cuts cleanly and sews beautifully.
