Andover Fabrics is one of the longest-running names in American quilting cottons, with a catalog of designer-led collections and a wide range of color-rich basics. Their Poppy Seeds line is a workhorse blender that quilters reach for again and again: a deep palette of saturated solids and near-solids, from Caribbean and Pacific blues through Brick, Cranberry, Plum, and Hunter, with enough texture in the print to hold its own next to a busier focal fabric.
Alongside the Poppy Seeds basics, the collection rotates seasonal lines like Sugarberry (the cream and red holly-and-berry prints that read as a country Christmas) and Autumn Woods (the warm hickory, pumpkin, and maize prints for fall quilts and table runners). Star, Charms, and Hearts in the deep red colorway round out the holiday side.
Andover plays well next to almost anything else in the catalog. Pair Poppy Seeds blenders with a focal print from Liberty Fabrics or with the small-scale florals of Tilda Fabrics, or browse the full fabric collection for a wider selection.
