I love Kona Cotton! I remembered getting my first Kona color card and drooling over all the colors and all the possibilities. And to think they started with just a dozen colors 30 years ago!
When I was asked if I would design a quilt to help Robert Kaufman celebrate 30 years of Kona I was a bit overwhelmed. Especially when I knew they would be choosing 29 other Ah-may-zing quilt designers to do the same. In the end, I decided to go for a quilt that would really highlight the fabric without the quilt being too matchy matchy. I was asked to specifically use the latest releases, the 32 new colors that combined with the existing colors made 303! #omg303
My quilt is called Triangulate and it is a free download on the Robert Kaufman website.
I LOVE styled quilt shots so I’m so glad that they took this pic!
To see how much of a Kona Cotton nerd I am, Robert Kaufman hosted a Kona IG game at Quilt Market a few weeks ago and I was the first person to get a perfect score. Yep, Kona nerd and proud. 🙂
There are SO many other stunning quilts that were a part of this project. Click on over to the Lookbook to see them all! If I can only choose two the first one would no doubt be Bartow. I must say that I LOVE everything this lady does. Carolyn Friedlander. Yep, enough said. And to think she’s just as awesome in person as well. Love this. Love her! The quilt is simple and clean and stunning!
Then there is a quilt by my new friend Anita Grossman Solomon. I love two color traditional quilts. Simple, classic, beautiful. And, I hear that she teaches methods for making these easier than they look. It’s it just lovely!
