I've been bursting at the seams, ready to celebrate MORE Thatched colors and I can finally share! What a beautiful way to start the new year with more colors and possibilities. Because New Years is a time of making plans and goals and looking ahead, I can't help but include these new colorful friends in my future planning. I like the warm and earthy shades that will be so welcoming in a fall quilt. The names evoke a warm and spicy meal with Masala Spice, Smoked Paprika, Green Curry, Olive and a little sweet with Honeycomb. The crisp blues that have purple mixed in to make a lovely garden with Dutch Iris, Periwinkle, Bluebell and Forget Me Not. These might be great in a spring quilt. Want more drama? Soft black is a nice dark black to balance Blizzard, the white on white tonal print. There are more neutrals with this group including Toast, Sand Castle, and Washed Linen. I really like how the light neutrals make a calming palette and look so pretty with all the colors. We have brought back some of the warmer grays of Charcoal and Stone. This new group adds 25 new colors to the Thatched family, 22 of which are brand new colors and three that are brought back from earlier collections. Swatch color cards are in the works for shops and I'm thinking some postcards with a color chart might be helpful. I made up my own little swatches to help with identifying and designing with the colors. If you would like to make your own swatch sample cards to use as you have little scraps left from projects, please download the file below and print on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper or heavier cover weight paper. You can then fill in the number and name of the fabric you used to help keep track for future projects. The jpeg file has 6 rectangles you cut and fold over and attach fabric in the middle with glue or a stapler. ![]()
This is what the jpeg file looks like: Or if you want a digital representation to refer to, use this chart for the new colors. I'll be adding a new and improved chart to the side bar of the blog with all the Thatched colors together once I have my color card to make sure I've got them all covered. Stay tuned for more Thatched sharing. I've got a fun mini quilt project that is a FREE pattern and uses a mini charm of Thatched and a fat quarter of background fabric, a fat quarter of backing and fat quarter of binding fabric. AND there is a new pattern I am releasing with some pillow covers that are shown with the new Thatched colors. Till then, enjoy this start of the new year and happy sewing!

LOVE your NEW Thatched basics prints and your "Radiance Bloom" Pattern. Thank you for sharing it. I have just completed my "Radiance Bloom" and have it hanging on my front door. Thank you, again for all your fabric and pattern designs! Can't wait to make more mini quilts with "Thatched" fabrics!

Would you share the list of colors used on the Wind Drifter quilt pattern using the Moda Thatched fabrics? I saw the picture on Instagram and would like to make it for my SIL. The quilt has a blue/denim look background with comment about fall colors mixed with Navy. The quilt was pieced by Susan Strumpf and used some of the newer colors of smoked paprika, pink grapefruit, toast, washed linen and several others.

I was wondering if Solana Thatched Meadow 134 is the same as Abby Rose Thatched Greenery 124.
