Ditsy in Marmalade covers a soft orange background with tiny cream flowers, packed closely enough that the fabric reads almost like a textured solid from a few steps away. It's part of Harvest on the Prairie, the autumn collection designed by Modern Prairie for Riley Blake Designs, and it's 100% cotton quilting fabric.
Small-scale ditsy prints are some of the hardest-working fabrics in any quilt. Because the motif is so small, this one cuts well into tiny pieces like star points, narrow sashing, or small appliqué shapes without losing its look. It also works as a blender that adds warmth between the collection's larger sunflower and floral prints.
Use it for binding, a scrappy fall quilt, or small projects like pot holders, zipper pouches, and coasters. An orange edge looks especially good on cream and latte quilts. Pair it with Ditsy in Suede and Wine for a coordinating trio, or with Sunflowers in Marmalade for a tonal orange palette.
