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?

MEDITERRANEAN is the favorite color.
Nectarine is my favorite but I was tempted by Grellow just because of the name/
They are all so yummy!! But I REALLY love Parrot right now!!!
Grellow!! (but every single one of them is wonderful!)
Heliotrope is speaking to me.
They are all beautiful but Morning Glory is my favorite.
Heliotrope. I need more purple in my life.
My favorite is Cabbage.
Watermelon has to be my favourite-fresh and fruity, fantastic to mix with lots of colours!
My favorite color is pink, so you would think it would be one of the pink shades. But Malibu seems to be calling my name. It is such a peaceful beachy color that I just love it!
