Plum Quilting Fabric

Plum turns rich next to gold, olive, and burgundy, and it softens beautifully with gray, blush, and cream. For a moody modern quilt, plum with charcoal and dusty pink is hard to beat.

Plum leans warm for a purple — it carries red undertones, which is why it sits so comfortably with autumn colors like rust and gold where a cool violet would clash.

For an accent like plum, a half yard to a yard covers most throw-size quilts. If it might become your binding too, add another half yard — plum makes a gorgeous, unexpected binding frame.
