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

How can you choose from all those lovely colours! However as I am partial to green right now the K001-21 (Honey Dew) really caught my eye. Would love to win this great bundle, thanks for the chance.
I like Niagra
Kona cottons make me salivate and their color names are yummy. Grellow is a new word for me and would not have thought of yellow. My favorite of the new ones is Honeysuckle; I’m such a pink girl!

All 32! Nectarine plus the additional 31…..Kona Cotton is the best.
Love the new colors!! My favorite is Niagra, and then Limestone.
Cabbage! It would make a great background fabric for a quilt.
All are beautiful but right now I’m in a Turquoise faze so Malibu has my vote.
