  5. I love the Kona Orchid color. I love how it "morphes" depending on the surronding colors. Gray, blue, a deep off-white....
    Thank you for hosting another giveaway. Your quilt top by the way, is gorgeous. Thanks for posting pics!

  24. Sorry posted before I was finished...
    As I was trying to type, great give away this is! I don't have a favorite Kona solid because my LQS doesn't carry this range but I've been dying to get my hands on some for a while now. Just a nice piece of cream coloured solid to use for my embroidery blocks is what I would go for first.
    Thanks for the chance to win some!

  61. Favorite or one most used? Favorite is probably any of the aquas, most used is Snow and White. I am looking into Ash and Charcoal though.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I have only used the Kona Snow and the Kona Black for projects here. One length of Snow got in with something red and came out a bit pink :P Had to reorder the snow for that project since the pink just would not do....

    ReplyDelete
  63. Chartreuse, Coal, White, Cactus, Khaki, Stone, Parsley I have all used and would use again. Have recently bought Bubble Gum, Pond, Artichoke, Celery, Zucchini and O D Green. H'mmm I may have a Kaufman solids addiction.

    ReplyDelete
  147. My recent favorite is Kona Coal as bright colors are such an amazing contrast to it, but I'm really into the very pale pastels as well.

    ReplyDelete
  148. My top fave Kona colour is Coal, I just love it, and Charcoal, with every other colour! I haven't a colour card yet, and want one before I go buying up more yardage.

  165. Solids make color selection so much easier.....red is my favorite

    ReplyDelete
  166. Well, I love everything aqua but the color I buy most would be white and ash. Most quilting fabrics are so colorful there has to be some balance...
