Sugarcreek Solids {Best Bella Matches}
Sugarcreek Prints and Wovens in Gray
As Sugarcreek fabrics have started shipping, I know many of you will be wondering which solids best match the prints in this collection.
I enjoy working with Bella Solids from Moda and often reference them when I am choosing the colors for each of my collections.

Below, you will find all of the matching Bella solids listed. When I am shopping for solids, I like to see them in person so I will shop at my local quilt shops to purchase what I can. When I can’t find the colors I need in-store locally, I pull out my trusty Moda Bella Color Card. These color cards include actual fabric swatches of the different Bella solids and makes choosing fabrics when you can’t get them in-store, so much easier! If you’d like a color card of your own, check to see if your local quilt shop can order one for you–that is how I purchased my first color cards.

Color Cards are available for the various solids available from different fabric companies. They are so handy to have!
And here are the Bella solids I would choose to coordinate with the Sugarcreek fabrics:

I am listing the color name and number of each solid from left to right. If you can’t find these solids in your local quilt shop, I have an online shopping link provided.
Persimmon (9900-294) This is not an exact match, Persimmon is a little bit more orange. You may have luck matching in-store against other solid shades.
Celery (9900-72)This is another one that is not exact. The green in Sugarcreek is not quite Pistachio and not quite Celery. This would be another one you might like to color match in-store.
The grays are usually pretty easy to find in local shops.

I hope this information helps you out. Solids are fun to match to collections to add a little bit of interest to a quilt or as a fun background. Because there are so many different ones to choose from (both shades and companies) it can sometimes feel a little bit overwhelming know what to purchase. Being able to see them in person is so helpful–the shades usually vary from what you see on your screen. Even having a color card, I still prefer to see the larger swatches in person in a quilt shop.

The Sugarcreek Prints are making their way to quilt shops right now and the Sugarcreek Wovens are starting to show up as well. The wovens are shipping a little bit behind the prints.
If you have any questions about solids, feel free to ask in the comments.
Happy Sewing!
Thanks! Will add these to my list.
You are so welcome!

You are so welcome!
Corey–Thanks! it is always helpful to have a starting point. I like seeing the bolt too. I am not usually a “solids” gal and with your beautiful prints—a solid works!!!
It really helps to see them on the bolt!
Peach Blossum is not pink. Your pinks are not pinks either!
You are my all-time favorite designer. Your collections seem to immediately draw me in, and I feel compelled to add them to my growing stash. I have a question: what is the difference between prints and wovens? I’m guessing the design in wovens is achieved using dyed threads in the manufacturing process, as opposed to stamping the design on for prints. Do they have a different use as opposed to prints?
Thank you for taking the time to list Bella solids that play well with your prints. Choosing the right solid is a time consuming process, and you got us one step closer to playing with your beautiful fabrics. Thanks for your beautiful work and attention to detail!
What white-ish background should I use for Pepper and Flax fabric? It could be a pattern too…….thanks, Debbie
