Moda • Primitive Gatherings • 42 pre-cut squares
Quiet prints. Beautiful patchwork possibilities.
Give your feature fabrics room to shine with the Itty Bitty Background Gatherings Layer Cake by Primitive Gatherings for Moda. This pack of 42 ten-inch squares in 100% cotton brings together small-scale background prints for patchwork with subtle detail, rather than a completely plain finish.
A versatile starting point for your quilt
The collection’s light neutrals and delicate, small-scale designs are useful partners for stronger colours and busier prints. Mix the squares through a scrappy quilt, pair them with a favourite feature fabric, or use them together for a gently varied background. Pre-cut squares let you work with several prints without purchasing each one by the metre.

From full squares to smaller patchwork pieces
Keep the ten-inch squares whole, or cut them into smaller squares, rectangles and triangles to suit your chosen pattern. Use them for quilt blocks, cushion covers, table runners and smaller patchwork projects. Check your pattern’s requirements before cutting; the amount of extra background, backing and binding fabric depends on the design and finished size.
Useful to know before you start
These are printed background fabrics, not plain solids. The squares have pinked edges, and Moda notes that their measured size may vary slightly with the depth of those edges. Check your cutting and seam guides before beginning. The pack contains fabric only—no pattern, backing, batting or binding. Colours may look different on individual screens.
