Pieces of America Plaid in Ruby is a red patriotic quilting cotton from the Americana collection designed by Lilac Bee Designs for Studio E Fabrics, SKU 8595-82. This is digitally printed 100% cotton quilting fabric, cut from the bolt. Studio E built the line around stars, plaids, paisleys and patchwork prints meant to coordinate with each other, so this plaid is a companion and blender print — the piece that usually goes missing when a red, white and blue quilt needs one more red.
Plaids in this palette do the quiet work in a Fourth of July or Memorial Day quilt: sashing, borders, star points, scrappy blocks, and binding, plus table runners, pillows and wall hangings for Americana decorating. Studio E offers three free patterns for the collection — the Salute Quilt, the Snapshot Panel Quilt and the Ensign Quilt — and the same plaid is available in Cream and Blue if you need all three colorways for a scrappy setting. It coordinates with the collection's Patchwork, Paisley, Big Stars and patriotic placemat panel. Lilac Bee Designs does not state a skill level for this fabric, and no pattern, kit, backing or binding is included with a fabric cut.
