What is Ruby Star Society?

So, first things first, what exactly is Ruby Star Society? Well, think of it as a haven for modern fabric enthusiasts. It’s a fabric manufacturer that’s all about vibrant designs, quality materials, and a whole lot of creative inspiration. These 5 designers were the original OG’s at Cotton & Steel before departing in 2018. Melody Miller formed a new company called Ruby Star Society, a new division of Moda Fabrics. The other designers followed her. They have a loyal following of quilt designers who showcase their fabric lines, more on that below.

One reason for their popularity is that while each designer has their own style, each designers fabric plays well with the others. That comes in real handy, this supportive collaboration makes this company and their fabrics unique.
