The Importance of Basics in Fabric: Every Quilter’s Essential Stash

For every quilter, whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, the fabric you choose is the foundation of your art. Among the endless options of patterns and prints lies an unsung hero of the quilting world: basic fabrics. Basics are more than just fillers or background fabrics—they are the key to unlocking creativity and elevating your projects. Let’s dive into what makes a fabric a “basic,” why they are essential in every quilter’s stash, and how Gudrun Erla’s new line, Heima with Andover Fabrics, brings fresh inspiration to this quilting cornerstone.

The Story Behind Heima: Fabric Collection Rooted in Iceland's Beauty

For Gudrun Erla, home is more than just a place—it’s a feeling of comfort, warmth, and connection. She first created Quilts of Iceland, a tribute to the land she calls home, showcasing the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and timeless traditions of Iceland. As a native Icelander, Gudrun weaves her personal connection to her homeland into every quilt design, drawing inspiration from Iceland's dramatic scenery, natural wonders, and historical patterns. Her latest fabric collection from Andover fabrics, Heima, brings that feeling to life, drawing inspiration from the breathtaking landscapes and timeless textures of her homeland, Iceland.
