Did you know that our William Morris fabrics are all perfect for quilting? We print our licensed William Morris designs in a few weights of fabric; cotton, heavyweight and pvc. Our William Morris quilting fabric cotton is the ideal for quilting, and we have it in many different designs. We’ve recently put together a few cotton fat quarter bundles, that tonally go together brilliantly. We have green, red and blue bundles of fat quarters, so they are perfect for every project.
If you’ve ever quilted using our fabrics, please do tag us in your photo, we’d love to see them! We took an interest in quilting during the lockdown, with time to spare it was a lot of fun to do some quilting projects, and it’s since been a fun past time. A lot of the designs go so well together, the colours within the green designs for example, the colours of the greens all go together to fit together into a tonal quilt that we absolutely love.
Our cotton fabrics come in a range of designs, each more beautiful than the next, we can never pick a favourite! All of them are licensed designs and we also have our original French Florals which are from our French archive. The designs work both together and separately with other designs or plain fabrics. We love that when we throw the quilt over a bed or arm chair, that it not only keeps us all warm in the winter months, but it adds a pop of colour and florals to the home.
After all, as Morris himself said, ‘Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful‘ – William Morris.
Morris designed his first design in 1862 (which was Trellis) so it’s incredible how timeless all his designs remain to be today. They are all as beautiful today as they must have been back then, and we love to think how many people have loved his designs throughout the years.
You can start with the fat quarters, and then if you need more to go towards the project, you can purchase our fabrics by the half metre. If you’d like a sample of any of the fabrics so you can see them together, do let us know! If you make a quilt out of our William Morris fabrics, do let us know!

Did you know that in Japan where our projects are sold, our tea towels are used not only for being functional but for decoration - we love that they’re framed, or laid on the table as a centrepiece to be admired or hung as a draped item to bring some nature indoors 🌿 we thought we’d do the same by using the tea towel as a centrepiece for a simple cup of tea and very delicious piece of cake! 🍰

We’re thinking of selling our William Morris Daisy fabric by the half metre 🫶🏻 It’s a much narrower fabric than our usual fabrics, but we’ve had some customers interested in it in cotton and heavyweight for projects such as upholstery, curtain and dress making and quilting projects, what do you all think? ✨🌿
