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

It contains 1 fat quarter of the following colors shown in my sketch above: Heliotrope, Honeysuckle, Grellow, Limelight, Creamsicle, Niagra, Titanium and Nectarine.

Christa Quilts 
It’s to hard to choose! I love them all
I have a hard time deciding but either Creamsicle or Heliotrope with Latte.
I love the richness of bordeaux.
Oh how I love solids! I was drawn to Pickle! But titanium looks like a fantastic gray to have on hand too!
Limelight….yum!
It’s very hard to choose a favorite but Sangria is certainly one I like very much!
honeysuckle is my favorite color – a nice raspberry red and in french” rouge framboise-” and framboise is also my nickname cos my fisrt name is francoise……..
I think Mediterranean is my new favorite. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Creamsicle, Mediterranean, and Titanium. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
Love PARROT.
I say, “Jamaica, man!”
Mmm I am loving me some Mediterranean and sangria! Thanks Christa
Sparkling parrot is my favourite, though I don’t like parrots….
I love Grasshopper! So many lovely colors.
What a tough chore – choosing only one! Since it’s October, I’ll go with Gumdrop – in memory of my sister and in honor of all of us with breast cancer. Thanks, Christa!
I am into soft grays with another (or several!) color for the WOW affect! Titanium it is … maybe with Grellow!
PURPLE! Love to see new purples added to the solid line. Thank you for a great giveaway.
I really enjoy this colorway!
HONEYSUCKLE
SANGRIA
BORDE
GERANIUM
GUMDROP
BALLERINA
I,too, love Kona solids. Titanium is my favorite.
Morning Christ’s it is so hard for me to pick one fabric out of all those scrumptious colors…it would certainly be a high iny . Life right now to have a little of each…ahh to relax covered in kona…isn’t that a delightful thought…lol but for right now I would have to say the new pickle and Bordeaux certainly have a spot in my stash….how about you?
I’m really liking the Terracotta and the Nectarine. I think they go well together.
The purple is so Royal.
Love grellow. All the new colors are beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway.
I like Dahlia.
Ooh, such beautiful colors! Mediterranean is my favorite!
I love all the colors, but I am partial to Sangria and Medeterrean Blue
MEDITERRANEAN is gorgeous and my favorite tho it was very hard to chose as there are so many beauties.
Kona is my favorite solid every time. The fabrics are of the highest quality. Well, my favorite color is green so naturally Limelite is my choice. Thanks so much to you and Kona for this awesome giveaway.
Goldfish – love anything orange. It blends with so many other colors
I like Astral!
I’m interested in creamsicle as a color scheme I have never worked with. Should go with grays & beiges
Heliotrope would be a great purple! Of course, I had to close my eyes and pick one, I love them all! Haha
I love love Niagara
I love all of these, so hard to pick, but since I have to choose, it would be Gumdrop & Nectarine. They look so soft, & yummy. Wishing I could reach out & pet them.
I love Goldfish! Thank yoU!
Honeysuckle! Love Kona solids.
Mmm, just one! I love Dahlia. Creamsicle is nice too
Love all the new colors, but especially creamsicle
I love both Niagra…..and nectarine. Soooooo yummy
My favourite new colour of Kona cotton is Bordeaux.

I’d have to go with Grasshopper!
Watermelon is my favorite new color!
I can only pick one? Sorry, no can do…! Seriously though, it’s a tie between Pickle and Scone.
i love the summer look of K001-494
MALIBU
I am planning a new quilt and “cabbage” will be just the perfect addition, what wonderful colors R.K. has added!
I’m going to go with Creamsicle. [Watermelon is a close second.]
It’s a toss up between Niagra and Platinum…
I like honeysuckle. Thank you!
I like the soft, subtle look of Platinum.
I honestly love every one of the new Kona Solids, but having to pick just one, I choose Sangria!
