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

Heliotrope would be my favorite!!! Love all of the other ones too!!
Hmmm, hard to choose just one or two of them ’cause I love them all. But if I have to narrow it down I would say either Sangria or Bordeaux. =)
hard choice, but Watermelon really popped out for me.
My favourite new colour is Cabbage – love those light and bright greens!
I love Gumdrop! Thanks for a chance to win!
