Fall Colors 2025: Your Guide to Sewing with This Season's Trends

As the crisp air and golden light of autumn returns, so does the inspiration for a new season of creative projects. The runways have spoken, and this year's trending fall color palette is a rich, decadent feast for the eyes, offering a sophisticated twist on classic autumnal hues. From the deep, luxurious tones of chocolate brown and royal purple to the vibrant pops of spiced orange and rich maroon, and the soft hues of dusty pink and gray, these shades evoke a sense of warmth and grounded elegance. We have paired the fall 2025 trending color palette with quilt and home décor sewing projects to inspire your next sewing adventure.

Color Palette Inspiration

With so many beautiful colors to choose from it can be hard to know where to begin. We have collected wonderful tools to help you begin the process of selecting fabrics for your next autumn project.

Pre-made Fabric Bundles

A quick and easy way to take the guess work out of fabric selection is to purchase a pre-made fabric bundle. Here in the shop, we have created two new autumn fat quarter bundles. These lovely bundles have incorporated both the trending colors of the autumn season and top fabric designers and manufacturers.

The Autumn Ruby Star Society Fat Quarter Bundle features stunning colorways and modern prints from the fabric design house of Ruby Star Society. This bundle includes 16 different fabrics from their many fabric collections.

The Autumn Bella Solids Fat Quarter Bundle is a lovely solid fabrics collection featuring 16 solid quilting cotton fabrics from Moda Fabric’s amazing Bella Solids line. Its smooth texture and consistent weave make it a favorite among quilters and sewists for its ease of use and professional finish.

Color Palette Generators

Our Pinterest page is an excellent resource for sparking your creativity with a wide array of color palettes. We have curated boards that help you visualize different color combinations, making it easy to find the perfect palette for your next sewing project. You can also utilize Pinterest's visual search tool to discover pins with similar colors, ensuring your fabric choices are on-trend and harmonious. We also have a board dedicated to Color Palette Generators to give you even more options when designing your next sewing project.

Fall Sewing Patterns

Now that you have your fabrics, let’s explore some autumn sewing patterns. The sewing world offers countless options, but we've narrowed them down to help you find the perfect match.

Quilt Kits

Quilt Kits are a fast and easy way to get your sewing project started. The fabric and quilt pattern decisions are already made, so all you need to do is cut the fabric and start sewing. We have an adorable Halloween quilt kit at Little Fabric Shop called Happy Hallows. This quilt kit is a complete fabric bundle which includes all the materials needed to finish the quilt top including the backing and binding fabric. This quilt kit utilizes fabrics from both the Moda Bella Solids and the Ruby Star Society Speckled fabric lines.

Pumpkin Quilts

Nothing screams fall like a pumpkin! Pumpkin quilts range from classic patchwork designs - like Cluck Cluck Sew’s Pumpkin Pattern - to more modern and whimsical interpretations, offering a versatile way to incorporate the spirit of autumn into your home decor. Whether you create a full-sized quilt for cozy evenings on the couch or a smaller table runner or wall hanging, a pumpkin quilt is a delightful way to celebrate the harvest season.

Fat Quarter Quilts

A fat quarter quilt is an excellent project for both beginner and experienced quilters, as it takes advantage of precut fat quarter bundles. By selecting a bundle with an autumn-inspired color palette, you can create a beautiful and cohesive quilt without the hassle of cutting individual fabrics. This method not only saves time but also guarantees a coordinated look, making it a simple yet effective way to craft a cozy, fall-themed quilt. Then Came June has a lovely Offset Star free sewing pattern that would look beautiful with a fall inspired fabric selection.

Simple Yet Elegant Quilts

Not all seasonal quilts need to have a fall inspired theme such as pumpkins, leaves, or even witches. By pairing the trending autumn color fabrics with a simple quilt pattern, you will create an elegant quilt to wrap yourself up in by the fire. Spruce Woods by The Blanket Statement is just one of many quilt pattern options. All her patterns are thoughtfully designed and easy to follow.

Home Décor Sewing Patterns

Let’s not forget to decorate our home this fall season. This is a fantastic way to infuse your home with the spirit of autumn and the season's trending colors. By using a single, cohesive fabric collection or by carefully curating individual fabrics, you can create a beautiful set of coordinating placemats, napkins, and a table runner. These projects are simple enough for beginner sewers and offer a chance to play with different textures and patterns, like mixing a solid-colored linen with a subtle plaid or floral print. A well-designed table setting made with these on-trend fabrics can instantly transform your dining space, making every meal feel like a special occasion.

With your color palette selected and patterns in hand, you're ready to bring the warm, rich tones of fall to life. The possibilities are endless, whether you're stitching a cozy quilt or a set of stylish home decor items. So, fire up your machine and let the beauty of this season inspire your next creative project!
