Although StudioE and I discussed more colors in the 108" size Peppered Cottons, I didn't think these new fabrics would be possible until late 2020 due to the global slowdown from the Covid-19 virus. But, happy days, it seems the new 108s couldn't wait...I am ecstatic to announce new colors of Peppered Cottons 108" width will be here in July! Stores can order them now and get them in their shops by August.
There are five new additions to the Peppered Cottons 108" wide category. All the 108s are super for quilt backings (that's 3 yards wide!), for using in patchwork especially when the directions call for cutting long borders, for wholecloth quilts, and for garment making.

| Blue Bell |
The new colors are some of my absolute favorites. The timeless blue chambray called Bluebell (#17X ) looks just like the classic men's American workshirt. It blends with any blue color scheme. Guys will like it because it seems somehow familiar.
 |
| Blue Jay |
Then there's the straight-on strong medium blue called Blue Jay (#41X). This shade has been a best-seller since the first edition of Peppered Cottons.
 |
| Tweed |
Tweed (#37X) is an equal blend of white and black threads so it's a texture-y gray and looks really great combined with bright colors as it plays second fiddle beautifully.
 |
| Oyster |
Then another classic neutral called Oyster (#35X) is a white with delicate gray hints. This would be a super background for applique and a backing where colored quilting thread would show well. Decorators will also love this for drapes.
 |
| Paprika |
Finally the #5 new color is Paprika (#32X). It's a lovely warm mix of red and orange threads and has been a customer favorite since it joined the Peppered Cottons line.
