Poolside Too — Moda Fabrics
Poolside Too is a vibrant tropical-inspired solid and stripe fabric collection — the kind of clean, cheerful palette that evokes a summer poolside, tropical vacation, or bright coastal setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do matched solid-and-stripe pairs work in a quilt?
The stripe does the visual work — borders, binding, and directional piecing — while the matched solid fills the body in the identical dye. Same-colour pairs like Peacock solid/stripe let a quilt vary texture without varying palette, which is the collection's whole trick.
What projects want the Poolside palette?
Summer throws, beach-house quilts, kids' quilts in ice-cream brights, and modern rainbow projects wanting saturated-but-clean colour. The palette runs warmer and happier than typical coastal navy-and-sand.
Any tip for striped binding?
Cut it on the bias — stripes wrap the quilt edge as a barber-pole spiral, the signature finish for bright quilts. A stripe binding from Lipstick or Peacock is worth the extra bias-cutting fabric.
