Today I get to share my greatest love. My love for color, Kona color that is.
When I first became a quilter 15 years ago, I never used solids. If I needed something to fill where a solid should be, I would use a small print or blender instead.
Now I must say that I couldnt fathom using a blender now. Back then blenders were harder to come by, and as soon as I was over my habit they seemed to have them everywhere.
I have a Giant pack of beautiful Kona® Fat Quarters in the 25 most popular prints.
Colors included are::
Colors included in the Pack:
Honey Dew, Sour Apple, Amethyst, Purple, Butter, Gold, Cornflower, Deep Blue, Carnation, Bright Pink, Maize, Corn Yellow, Robing Egg, Lagoon, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Rich Red, Tomato, Windsor, Tangerine, Earth, Jungle, Mulberry, Charcoal (or Coal) & Teal Blue
I am sure that there is someone out there who would make this beautiful pack of color a great home. Maybe add it to a quilt, or a table runner. Whatever you think you would do with it leave me a comment about it and you just might be the winner.
you can buy it here, or Here is how you can win.

I don't know what I would make. Probably a quilt. we have a couple new babies coming a church, i guess whoever comes first gets a sweet soft rainbow kona quilt!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely add these as sashing to some of the fun bee blocks I have coming home from across the world. I have worked with Kona before but only white and black. Solid colors would be a new adventure for me.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower as well.
ReplyDeletei think if i won something this wonderful i would finally take the time to make something with solids...these are amazing

ReplyDeleteI never use solids either. I think I need to come out of my comfort zone and start using them. I follow alot of other blogs that use solids in their HST quilts all the time. I'd like to try something like that. These colors are soooo pretty! Jenn
ReplyDeleteI just vowed to make an all solids quilt this year! Like you, I hardly ever used solids when I started, but now I see the appeal. I would make a nine patch in a diagonal setting with a wide border in red.
ReplyDeleteI love Kona solids! I would use them in a new quilt I'm making for myself! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI gotcha in my side bar~ hope this counts as a post!!

I also love color. I love it so much, I would use it for a runner or maybe continue practicing since I'm inspiring to be a sewer.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many possibilities with that stash of Kona's. I could use some of those in my pinwheel sampler :) Great Giveaway Teri, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh YUM! I would use the pinks and blues in the quilt I am planning for my daughter's "big girl" room, and the rest in something for ME!
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am just like you used to be - afraid of solids! I need a pack like this to incorporate into a quilt. My stash is severely lacking!
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for more solids but hate to spend the money to get a good variety...
ReplyDeleteand I follow your blog!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to enhance any project with some solids. In fact I am doing a quilt caleed charm- along that I need a couple of extra pieces for. Thanks!!

ReplyDeleteI also follow your blog through my google reader!
ReplyDeleteOh, can I play? I am here via Calamity Janes Cottage.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I don't know what I would do with those fabrics because I have not used solids much either.
I love to make patchwork twirl skirts for my daughters and these would make a beautiful rainbow skirt for my 2 year old.

ReplyDeleteI need to look thru the "Simply Solids" flickr group for inspiration, surely something I can copycat a bit in there!
ReplyDeleteI've gotten really into solids of late. I'd use those awesome solids in the 7 or so baby quilts I'm making in the next few months, all for friends' impending babies.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to have that many solids on hand. I don't think I would use them all at once. There wouldn't be anything left to look at.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really like doing half square triangles as a way to use solids that doesn't require long pieces like sashing. So- I would probably use them to make baby/toddler quilts! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm following your blog.
ReplyDeleteSO pretty! I think I would make a color block quilt in solids with gray as the sashing. I've been dying to make one!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Thanks!
And I'm already a follower!
ReplyDeleteWOW... what a giveaway and ohhh, the possibilites!!! I would love to blend some of these Kona solids with my new Simply Sweet and Basic Bubble Gum bundles that I have just aquired and save some of the rich darker colors for a fall quilt and maybe, just maybe... share some with my fellow bee members.

ReplyDeleteDo you have time to read all I could do with this??? First of I need some solds for baking of list takers, crayon rolls and crayon bags.

Then I could use some in my rag quilts, loveys and pieced quilts, the list goes on and on, thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHaving won once from you an awesome light, I'm a little ashamed to enter again for a chance to win!

ReplyDeleteWhat would I do with these fabulous solids? What wouldn't I do!?!?! I kind of declared to myself that 2010 would be my year of working with solids. I can relate to what you said about the blenders and your process of coming to solids. Sounds very familiar.
ReplyDeleteI joined a challenge to make an Amish style quilt in a liberated style (a la Gwen Marston)using solids. These fabrics would be perfect for that project.
Thanks for the generous giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteOh, for sure - I would use them in quilts - I have been in need of some solids for a while now...
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog...
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do with all that fabric? I think I would lay on the floor with it covering me and have lots of photos taken because I probably would not believe I won. Then I'd serge the edges, wash it, iron it.....and then look through my stash for some fun wild fabrics to put together for a new pic nic blanket. But that is not a promise....I might just lay on the floor with it covering me without ever stitching it together....LOL
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are beautiful. I could do some many different quilts that I have had in the planning. What a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThose are great to use for sashings and bindings (and backings, too)! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI have several projects that I'd love to do with these. First and foremost I'd love to use then for a Prairie Braid quilt I'm working on. I think they'd blend really well with the other fabrics I'm using.
ReplyDeleteWow......those colors are yummy....First, I'm now FOLLOWING your blog......Next....If I won, I'd add some of those colors in my floral quilt project. The rest would go in my stash until my next few projects.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to me and all the other participants.
I would use those yummy colors for quilts for our grandsons - I'm working on gathering fabrics for I-spy quilts and need some solids to set off the fun prints.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely make a quilt with lots of solid colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm a follower - wish I'd found your blog sooner - this is great!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway. Love the colors and would certainly find a good place to use them.
ReplyDeleteOh MY !!! LOve the colors and wow, I think I would have to use them in a crazy quilt. I'm taking a class on yahoo groups called stitchmap and we're doing a crazy quilt. Eileene
ReplyDeleteI would make a Dresden Plate Wallhanging if I won the beautiful Color Wheel Kona Cotton. Then embellish it with Floss and beads. I retired in Aug 2009 and have no Kona in my growing stash.
ReplyDeleteSolids are just one of those things I don't buy much of. It use to be all I could get was a poplin when I needed a solid. Kona now has filled that niche so nicely. I'd like to do an Amish style quilt with these and baby quilts with the rest.
