With this wall of Kona, you may wonder how I ever actually decide on a fabric bundle - for myself or a customer!

Shelves full of Kona fabric

I do stall out sometimes - I pull out five fabrics and slowly replace them one by one, adding... taking away.... walking away... staring at them and willing them to speak and tell me if they want to be in a quilt together (so far they haven't).

And I don't like being stuck using the same colours over and over again!  I may allow that for my own personal projects (truth time - I'm totally stuck in a red/orange phase right now), but for custom bundles and quilt kits, that just doesn't work.  I think all of you wonderful customers would notice if all of your quilts were looking the same after buying a custom bundle from Piece Fabric Co.

Actually... hmmmm..... those all look really good.  Maybe my customers wouldn't be upset....

Shown above, quilts mocked up using QuiltInk:
1. Paper Planes Quilt by Kiley's Quilt Room in Kona greens
2. Matrishkin Quilt by Rachelle Handmade in Kona greens
3. Slow Dance Quilt by Hoffmama Company in Kona greens

But... I do have favourites - Kona Cotton colours that I am drawn to again and again.  Sometimes one or two are used in a project and sometimes they are all used together.  No, scratch that.  I haven't yet used all of these together.  I am going to have to change that.

And so, I made a bundle, a bundle of my favourite Kona colours. Each of these fabrics are colours that appear again and again in my work.  I'll pull a bundle together without looking at the colour names and I'll think I've  been completely original... until I look at the fabric names.  Oh look! Cayenne made another appearance.  And Pepper... of course... I can't have a quilt without Pepper. And there's Natural.  Trusty Natural.  Always happy to pull it all together. (the rest of you speak to your fabric too, right???)

Alright.  I won't keep you waiting.  Here you go.

The greens from the three quilt mockups are in this bundle!  As are all my favourite reds!

Once again, the Kona Cottons in this bundle are:

Brick
Wine
Cayenne
Sienna
Gold
Leather
Spruce
Sage
Seafoam
Pepper
Natural

This was such a fun post to prepare and write - working with my favourite fabrics and mocking up each project I'd love to spend time quilting. So, since I'll never, ever get to do all of these... I'm hoping you can help me out, haha!  Now available in the shop... First, the Kona cotton bundle; and then also each green quilt because they really are fantastic. Just select which bundle or quilt kit you'd like from the photos below!

As always, a custom bundle of your own is just one quick message away!  You can find me on InstagramFacebook , or email info@piecefabric.co.  

Have a wonderful week!
