Fall in Full Color — the Autumn Rainbows Fabric Collection

Autumn is, hands down, my favorite season.

I'll be honest — summer and I have never quite seen eye to eye. (Give me a cool morning and a sweater over a blazing afternoon any day.) But autumn? Autumn is the exhale. It's the relief when the heat finally breaks, the first hint of cozy in the air, the long, happy runway toward Christmas and winter and all the family traditions I love best. It's getting to enjoy the outdoors again — without the summer sun trying to flatten you.

And here's the thing I kept coming back to. When you really start looking at fall — I mean really looking — it's not just crimson and pumpkin and gold. It's dahlias and coneflowers. It's my agastache and gaura, still blooming their hearts out right up to the first frost. (And now I can finally sit and enjoy them, because it's not so blazing hot.) Fall, it turns out, is downright colorful.

That's why I made Autumn Rainbows.

This Autumn Rainbows fabric collection is my tribute to the season as it actually is — bright, playful, and bursting with color. Five prints built to work together — coordinates and a hardworking blender — whether you're piecing a whole quilt or just hunting for the perfect accent fabric.

Fall Rainbows Fabric: If this collection has a heart, this is it. Hand-drawn rainbows arc across warm cream — the print that gave the whole collection its name. It comes in three colorways: a full rainbow, a warm rainbow (rose pink, raspberry red, tangerine orange, and marigold), and a cool rainbow (olive green, teal, and plum).

Hand-Drawn Acorns Fabric: Is there anything sweeter than a little acorn? These hand-drawn nuts tumble across the cloth like the best part of an autumn walk. Four colorways: three rainbow versions — full, warm, and cool — plus a cozy all-brown mix in caramel brown and chestnut brown for a more traditional fall feel.

Block-Print Pumpkins Fabric: You can't have fall without pumpkins — these have a charming, carved-stamp, block-print look. Eight colorways in all: three rich tonal versions and five colorful prints on warm cream.

Scattered Autumn Leaves Fabric: Like confetti for fall. Tiny leaves scatter across the fabric in a just-fallen, tossed-by-the-wind way — and this one comes in so many colorways it practically counts as a blender all on its own. Thirteen in all: three multicolor scatters (full, warm, and cool rainbow), five tonal, and five on warm cream.

Fall Houndstooth Fabric: Classic houndstooth in autumn color — and the hardest-working print in the whole collection. Twenty-two colorways: three rainbow, five tonal, and fourteen on warm cream, so there's a houndstooth to blend with every other print here. If you've ever needed that one fabric to tie a whole quilt together, this is it.

Autumn Rainbows isn't just for quilters and sewists, either. You'll find these prints waiting on Spoonflower's home decor, as well.

Think: a rainbow print throw pillow to brighten up the couch, a colorful acorn throw blanket for chilly evenings, houndstooth napkins for your fall table, a plum leaves table runner down the center of it, or a teal pumpkin tea towel to make doing the dishes a little more cheerful.
