Transparency Watercolors Fabric Collection – Crescent Chai

Earthy and refined, Crescent Chai features a taupe-brown foundation accented by repeating crescent shapes that flow gracefully across the surface. Its neutral palette makes it an excellent choice for balancing brighter fabrics, while the gentle pattern ensures it still carries visual interest on its own. This colorway brings warmth and depth, making it suitable for use as a background, blender, or even as a feature in projects that call for an organic, grounded feel. Crescent Chai is a versatile addition to any collection, offering quiet sophistication.

Light, airy, and full of depth, the Transparency Watercolors Fabric Collection by Modern Quilt Studio for Benartex gives quilters a fresh way to play with color. Each print is made of 100% cotton and measures approximately 44″ wide, making it ideal for quilting, piecing, and creative sewing projects. This collection builds on the success of the original Transparency line, offering a softer watercolor-inspired palette that still retains the striking “color superpowers” that make transparency quilts so exciting.

Perfect for experimenting with layered effects, Transparency Watercolors allows you to explore advanced color techniques without the guessworkthe values are already planned for you. Organized in two values of a shared spectrum, each hue has a lighter and darker partner, ensuring seamless transitions in your projects. This thoughtful design approach makes it easy to pair fabrics and achieve the illusion of overlapping colors or subtle blending in quilts.

As with many of Modern Quilt Studio’s lines, Transparency Watercolors is crafted as an ensemble collection, emphasizing how the fabrics interact as a whole rather than centering on a single “focus print.” The result is a versatile range that invites quilters to create visually stunning projects with dynamic movement and layered dimension.

To help you dive in, Benartex and Modern Quilt Studio are offering a free quilt pattern, Color Wash, that showcases the collection beautifully. This beginner-friendly project finishes at 40″ x 60″ and demonstrates how the fabrics work together to create glowing, transparent effects. Whether you’re new to transparency techniques or a seasoned quilter looking to experiment, this collection is a must-have for adding sophistication and color-play to your fabric stash.
