The Portofino collection by Joanna Figueroa for Fig Tree & Co. captures the sun-dappled beauty of Tuscany, blending Joanna’s signature vintage-inspired style with a refreshing new palette. Rooted in her love of the Italian countryside, this collection feels like stepping into a serene Mediterranean afternoon, where golden fields meet rustic villas and cypress-lined paths.

Colors Inspired by Tuscany

Portofino’s palette combines soft, romantic tones with earthy richness. The collection features blush pinks, warm browns, and creamy ivories, paired with teal-leaning greens and citrons that evoke olive groves and coastal waters. Together, these colors create a harmonious balance—gentle yet vibrant, soothing yet lively.

What sets this collection apart is the addition of golden tans and rich browns, bringing warmth and depth that complement Fig Tree’s signature pastels. These tones add a rustic, grounded quality to the collection, perfect for quilters who want a balance of light and warmth in their projects.

Quilts That Celebrate Portofino

Joanna showcases five stunning quilts in the Portofino Trunk Show, each one thoughtfully designed to bring out the best of the collection.

Piazza

This quilt lives up to its name, evoking the beauty of an Italian square. With its classic, structured layout, it’s perfect for showcasing Portofino’s balanced mix of florals, geometrics, and tonal prints.

Nutmeg Stars

A Fig Tree classic, this fat eighth-friendly pattern uses every print in the collection to create radiant, sunburst-like stars. It feels like an homage to a Tuscan afternoon, where the sun filters through the trees in warm, golden rays.

Trees in Tuscany

Another fat eighth-friendly design, this quilt features charming tree blocks with floated points—a low-pressure pattern that’s as fun to sew as it is beautiful. Its relaxed style is perfect for capturing the laid-back elegance of the collection.

Black Eyed Susan

Joanna’s personal favorite, this layer-cake-friendly quilt makes a bold statement with its intricate design. It uses every print in the collection, weaving them together in a stunning showcase of Portofino’s versatility.

Hazel & Blooms

A delightful addition to the Portofino collection, this layer cake-friendly quilt features a beautiful interplay of soft florals, bold geometrics, and vibrant solids. Its unique layout resembles a garden in full bloom, framed by clean, crisp sashing that allows each print to shine. Hazel & Plum is perfect for highlighting the collection's balance of warm browns, cheerful yellows, and rich teals

Why Portofino Stands Out

Portofino feels distinctly Fig Tree, yet it introduces elements that give it a fresh, unique identity. The addition of browns, citrons and soft blue-greens offers a grounded warmth and sophistication, while the blend of florals and d small-scale prints invites quilters to experiment with texture and contrast.

Whether you’re drawn to the delicate blossoms, the structured geometrics, or the rich tonal prints, Portofino offers endless possibilities for quilts, home décor, and more.

A Collection for Every Quilter

Joanna Figueroa’s Portofino collection is more than fabric; it’s a celebration of the artistry and elegance of quilting. With its rich palette and versatile designs, Portofino inspires creativity and invites you to bring a piece of Tuscany into your sewing room.
