Emerald is green in its jewel-box best — deep, saturated, and a little bit glamorous. It's gorgeous in Christmas quilts and just as good year-round against gold or blush. Here are the emeralds in one place: clean solids, shimmer tonals, garden-wall batiks, and wide backing.

Emerald is a jewel tone, so it loves company that can keep up — gold, navy, and plum for a rich palette, or crisp white and blush if you want the green to be the star. It's also a Christmas classic with true red.
Wonderful for it — emerald reads richer and more elegant than a bright kelly green. Pair it with cream, gold shimmer, and a deep red for a holiday quilt that doesn't look like a candy cane.
Yes — emerald comes in 108-inch wide backing yardage, so you can back a large quilt seam-free. Measure your quilt top and add at least four inches on every side when figuring backing.
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
