How are you all coming on your Abacus Quilt Along? The best part of any group project is seeing how everyone interprets the pattern in their own colors and fabrics. In fact, I have an alternate colorway to share with you today. I call this colorway “Parfait,” using some of the new 2014 Kona Cotton colors with a white background. Isn’t it cheerful?
Alternate Kona colorway – designed by Christa Watson in EQ7
Thanks to my generous friends at Robert Kaufman, one of you will get to win this lovely bundle! It contains 1 fat quarter of the following colors shown in my sketch above: Heliotrope, Honeysuckle, Grellow, Limelight, Creamsicle, Niagra, Titanium and Nectarine. Plus enough white for the background and binding. Aren’t those fun colors?
Fabric Bundle of New Colors up for Grabs
Here’s another sketch of what the quilt would look like with the colors in a different arrangement. There’s enough fabric that you can play around and put them in any order you like! Isn’t half the fun of any project picking the fabric placement?

I am absolutely in love with Parrot!
I would have no trouble using Nectarine
So many beautiful colors, it is hard to choose just one!! I think Ultra Marine is my favorite!
Love the Mediterranean blue!
They all are lovely but i think K001-1039
BORDEAUX is the one for me i have projects i have to do over the next few months so these would be great for those
Good Luck to all

I already bought quite a few of the new colors. The watermelon is very cool! Thanks!!
Creamsicle is one of my favourites!! Love grellow and goldfish too!
Niagra and Astral are gorgeous! But then I so love Kona Solids :-)! Thanks for the opportunity to win some!
It is hard to choose but I will vote for Honeysuckle.
Niagra!!
Malibu!
Pickle. Yum!
Wow really like all of them, not a bad one in the bunch. A few did call my name but if I picked only one it would be Bordeaux. I know kind of dark, but I love my dark fabrics to play with the lights,
I love Creamsicle<3
Hard to choose – but I love the Mediterranean, Grasshopper & Titanium the best right now!
What a nice selection of colors. My favorite new color is Goldfish.

Parrot is lovely.
I have to go with Creamsicle, also one of my favorite frozen treats! =)
I love the luscious Bordeaux! So pretty!
I love all those colors, but especially the greeny-blues. But my favorite is Jamaica. Thanks, Christa!
There all so gorgeous!! Since I’m a beach-y kind of girl, I believe my favorite is Malibu.
My favorite is the Cobblestone – it just looks so soothing. LOL!
Sangria is SEW beautiful – I buy a lot of shades of purples, can see this one to add to the collection.
I love the solids. Their names are so clever…
OOHHH that “watermelon” colour is calling me.
I love all the colors but I think Niagra is calling my name. I am really loving that shade. I like this colorway better than the other, I like brighter colors now.
Haven’t started my quilt along, and at the rate I’m going, it will be next year before I do!! Love this colorway. Thanks for the chance to win, again!!
I like Parrot!
I think I have to go with Nectarine!!!
Malibu. How ’bout you?
It was a toss up between niagara and Nectarine, but i love blues so Niagara it is!
Oh wow!! They are all so beautiful!! Loving Dahlia. I’m a sucker for purples. 🙂

I’m loving the nectarine…it’s so fresh!
I think Jamaica is my favorite. I love all those new colors!
Thanks!
Mediterranean is definitely my favorite color of the new series, but Astral is my favorite name. 🙂
Gumdrop!
I want each and every color but my favorite is the Ultra Marine.
This is an awfully hard choice. But i finally narrowed it down to Nectarine. Thanks
Love the blue especially Niagara.k
Sangria. I love any shade of red – besides it brings back memories of sipping sangria at poolside!
I’m always drawn to the blues, but in this bundle I like the terra cotta for all its new potential.
morning glory
Sangria is gorgeous but I’m loving Ultramarine and creamsicle too. Oh, who am I kidding, I just can’t decide….
Pickle yummy pickle is my fave
Oooh, these purples, blues, and greens are so my colors! Based on what my computer monitor shows me, I think Niagra might be my favorite new color. Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity!
Love the limelight.
I love the colors!!
I love the new colour Astral
Sangria is awesome!
Sangria — looks (and sounds) yummy.
