Fabric Collection
Faux Tweed Tonals is a collection of tweed-look tonal blender quilting cottons sold through Connecting Threads, with 48 colorways available from $11.96. Shades include Sapphire, Dusty Aqua, Teal, Indigo, Blue Jeans, Azure, Sea Glass, Orchid, Lemon, Leprechaun, Parrot, and Flame.
Tweed brings texture without a printed motif, and that's exactly what these blenders do for a quilt — they read as woven depth from arm's length. The palette has a generous run of blues and teals (Sapphire, Indigo, Blue Jeans, Sea Glass) plus livelier notes like Lemon, Parrot, and Flame when a quilt needs a spark.

Yes — alongside yardage, the line comes as a fat quarter sampler, handy when you want the tweedy texture across a whole spread of colors for scrappy piecing.
Blenders like these sit between a solid and a print: they add texture and depth without a distracting motif. Quilters reach for them for backgrounds, alternate blocks, borders, and anywhere a solid would look a little flat.
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
