Amanda Murphy wrote this great book using Kona Cottons, by Robert Kaufman.

Auriful thread has wonderful colors that work so well with them.
I had to have that book and the Sunset Palette to work my magic on "Stairways".
 |
| I love this quilt. When I showed my husband and son, they too, were just as impressed as I was. This is the first time that Andrew, my son, said he would like this one. |
 |
| I so enjoyed making it. I used every color that was in that fat quarter bundle. They are all so beautiful. The feel and texture of the fabric played so nice together. This is the first time I have made a whole quilt using just solid fabrics. I don't think it will be my last. I still have fabric left and am already thinking about what to make next. |
 |
| These were taken not long after one of the snow storms we have had recently. I think the white snow, shows just how vibrant these colors are. The black Kona Cotton, to me, just sets it off. |
 |
| I still had plenty of fabric left and decided to make another small quilt. I love zig zag's. This was a fun little quilt to piece too. Don't you just love it when it all comes together. |
 |
| I want to thank Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt and Carol for all their encouragement and cheerleading for this absolutely amazing hop. Everyone has turned out fabulous creations. Thank you to Amanda Murphy too for such a wonderful study in color.

Those are both absolutely gorgeous! Wow! The designs and Kona fabrics made an amazing combination. I love them! Thanks for hopping with us. :0)
Beautiful quilts, Mary! You would never guess that Stairway is your first quilt using only solids. Amazing!
What a stunning setting with this pallete on the black. Love the first quilt, wonderful pattern for this bundle.
Unbelievably beautiful, like jewelry on a quilt
Beautiful colorways with those black backgrounds. Thanks for the eye candy!
Those colors do play so well together. I like the movement created in your stairways quilt.
Wow the movement in your quilt is just amazing. Just stunning
I love those deep, dramatic colors! Beautiful quilts!
I love your quilts! The Stairway pattern is a great choice and you placed the colors perfectly! Makes me want to make one just like it! The black background and the pictures in the snow do make a great photo shoot. The little zig zag quilt is a lovely addition. Thanks for all the inspiration ... :) Pat

Oh my and WOW, your quilts are to die for! Thank you for sharing.
Hello Mary! Those are really amazing and beautiful quilts! You did an excellent job! It is nice to hear that your son also will enjoy the quilt. The zig-zig quilt came together also really well! Color Pop - great in winter!

Me again. I really love the "Stairways" pattern. Is it your own creation or can you provide me with more information so I might find the pattern?
Mary, what beauty! That quilt was another of my favorites in the book and I love the color combination you used. The zig zag quilt is so bright and a great us of Kona sunset. Your pictures are just perfect to show the wonderfulness (word?) of these quilts.

Mary - what an incredible quilt. Yes, the snow provides an incredible backdrop for the quilt. I can hardly believe that is your first all solid quilt. I love the little pop of green. You certainly have to do more solid quilts. You have an amazing sense of color. Thanks for participating and being a great inspiration.
Beautiful quilts Mary, wow!!
Great quilt! and I love that you were out in the snow taking the photo!
Very lovely. Such pretty colors.
Absolutely stunning! What a wonderful eye for color you have! Thanks for sharing.
