MODA - True Love by Lella Boutique - チェックメイト - オートミール

This oatmeal beige is even prettier in person, and the Checkmate pattern adds just enough visual interest without being too busy. It pressed up beautifully and holds a crease well, which made piecing my blocks a breeze. Already planning my next project with this line.

I was worried the geometric pattern might look too busy, but the soft oatmeal tone actually blends beautifully with my fat quarters. The fabric has a lovely hand and pressed up crisp for piecing. This is going to make a gorgeous neutral quilt top.

The oatmeal beige is exactly the soft, neutral backdrop I needed, and that checkmate grid reads as quiet texture from across the room. Cutting into it, the pieces stayed crisp with no fraying, which made the whole piecing process feel effortless.
