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

Grellow in my favorite; what a gorgeous name!
Love the Niagara. Just finished a quilt using white. Great to use.

The Dahlia wins for me –Creamsicle is in close second!
I love the white background, too!
Morning glory, yummy!
I like Sangria. It’s a fun color. Love your pattern.
The new Kona colors are so beautiful! It’s really tough to choose just ONE as a favorite…. My choice today is Sangria! It has so many possibilities, I’m going to give it a try.
My favorite is Bordeaux. Thanks!

Going to have to go with Astral.
But choosing is so hard! I’m especially liking the pinks and I think Geranium might be the awesomest. Terracotta is a beautiful orange though.
I love the watermelon and goldfish!
I am into grays right now so love the titanium!
Honeysuckle is my favorite of the new colors. I will have to think of some way to use it.
I really like cabbage, but I also like creamsickle.
Oh it’s so nice that they’ve added some of those peachy reds, they make a great addition to the line. I think I would have to choose either Pickle or Watermelon as my favorite of the new colors. Thanks for the chance to win!
It’s really a toss-up between Dahlia and Cabbage. I could surround myself with those colours. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sangria is my favorite in more ways than one!
I am loving Dahlia with Niagara a very very close second. So hard to choose, so many lovely colors. I think I really need to put a rainbow quilt using only solids on my to do list. 😉 Thanks for the chance!

Gumdrop!!! I love you love we all love Kona Solids.
Grellow and Goldfish are my favorites!!
That is a hard choice but Niagra stands out to me above the rest. Just looking at the whole stack makes me hold my breath. what a gorgeous fabrics.
My favorite is limelight
Oh, Oh, Oh, the Nectarine, is definitely calling my name but they are all beautiful colors!
I love em all but Malibu is my fave! Thanks for the chance to win.
my favorite new color is Jamica !’
Your quilt is lovely.
Persimmon!!
Love the rose color!
I love cabbage and corsage (but maybe not together)
Creamsickle and Cabbage. Thanks for the give a way!!!
Love them all. But the creamsicle and the lime green are my favorite.
Niagra because that is my husbands favorite shade of blue. He’s in hospital and I am working on a gift for his upcoming birthday,
on a scale of 1-10 ,bordeaux is a 9 and the rest are 10. Is that better than saying i love them all. donna fuller
I love all but favorite are the blues!
I love working with solids more than prints!! My new favorite is Heliotrope with Sangria a close second. I ‘m not big on orange but the new Honeysuckle is gorgeous!! Pick me!! 🙂
I buy nothing but Kona! I’d have to say in this collection, the Limelight is my favorite. I use that type of color almost like a “neutral”.
Ultra Marine….and Creamsicle!
All the colors are gorgeous, but I would pick the purples, especially Morning glory or Dahlia. They would look pretty in the spotlight, or as a background. Titanium would be a great background, too!

I like them all but pick watermelon. I have a little of it and love it.
I really like Malibu.
It has to be Creamsicle! Not only is it a beautiful shade…but brings back fond memories of a favorite childhood treat.
I haven’t met a Kona Solid I don’t like yet. If I had to choose one, maybe it would be Honeysuckle – it feels like it combines several colors into one.
Honeysuckle is my favorite…today LOL.
Heliotrophe all the way! -amyjoquilts
Oh, great new colors! The names are fabulous, too! My favorite is GRASSHOPPER since it is so ZEN!
It’s so hard to choose! I love Honeysuckle, Heliotrope and Ultra Marine, so I guess I’ll just have to flip a coin!
I love the nectarine. I have be drawn to soft sorbet colors. Thank you for the opportunity to win some fabric!
Grellow but hard to choose just one!
Malibu is just the prettiest… I want one of each… except for that Pickle color… I’d give that one to my sister who loves her yellow-y greens!
I think I am in love – heliotrope! a great super saturated color!
