Fabric Stash ~ Basics

FABRIC STASH BASICS ~ those fabric staples that make up a significant portion of a fabric stash.  Stash basics vary from sewer/quilter to quilter but for me that usually means dots, stripes, checks, solids, and more recently chevrons.   It just so happens that it has been a week of basics stashing.

Lecien -  Color Basics  
  • Stripes in Pink, Yellow, Green, Red, Black and Grey
  • Pin dot in Black
  • Medium Dot in Turquoise
Robert Kaufman ~ Everything Nice 
Apron Dot in Red, Aqua, Sunshine, Green and Grey.

And last ~ Chevron - Small by Riley Blake in a rainbow of eleven different colors.


Chevron  - Small by Riley Blake is a narrower Zig Zag Stripe than the original Riley Blake Chevron released earlier this year (now known as Chevron - Medium)  
Chevron - Small by Riley Blake available from:

I generally like to purchase half yards when stashing basics although if I feel that a particular fabric would also make a good binding fabric - like Lecien Color Basics Black/White Stripe - I will purchase additional yardage.


Happy Stashing!
