| I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and compliments on Thursday. I do appreciate it so much. I was able to reply to most everyone. I did encounter a few no-reply bloggers. I did try to answer you. This is such a great hop. I think it has really brought the creativity out. I know it did for me. I will definitely working with solids again.

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.

Wake Up to Kona

| This is a copy of the page from Amanda Murphy's book showing the Sunset Palette. These colors are incredible. The colors were talking to me as soon as I had them in my hands. Her book "Color Essentials" is a wonderful inspiration.

Kona Blog Hop
Can you believe the absolutely amazing quilts we are seeing on this hop?
I have to say I have been blown away.
|
| Amanda Murphy has done a wonderful job in creating so many quilts using the Kona solids. This fabric is so nice to work with and the colors beg to be used. Madame Samm and Carol have done a fantastic job organizing this wonderful hop. The creations being shown have put a whole new way to look at quilt patterns. I have always used tone on tone, and prints as my combinations. Now I can look at a pattern and see using solids as well, as either part or whole block. Here is the schedule for the rest of the week.
