Buy Modern Fabrics

At its simplest, a quilt is a blanket. But a quilt can also be a work of art. From the earliest times, scraps of cloth – either leftover from sewing new clothes or salvaged from worn clothing – were cut into shapes and sewn together to become something whole and beautiful as a quilt top.

Nowadays, many quilters prefer to use designer fabrics for their quilt tops. With the growing need, fabric designers have come up with a never-ending array of colorways and motifs. And quilters have found endless ways to express themselves in the arrangement of colorful pieces of fabric. If you're one of the quilters who are particularly fond of modern fabrics and contemporary quilt designs, you're in luck! Missouri Star is your ultimate destination to fulfill your passion.
