Blogger's Quilt Festival - Spring 2014 - Kona 2013 Quilt

It's that time of the year...twice a year during quilt market, Amy over at Amy Creative Side hosts a Blogger's Quilt Festival.  We are allowed to link up two quilts to the various categories and have the opportunity to visit and be inspired by other blogger's wonderful quilts.


The first quilt I am going to link up is my Kona 2013 Quilt which I made using a charm pack of the new summer 2013 Kona colors for the Wake Up to Kona blog hop.  I had bought the charm pack and used a little of each color to make a 2013 color card to supplement to my older 2012 Kona color card.  I used the remainder of the charm squares to create  a mini-quilt using a simple hourglass block (blocks are 3.5" finished).  

Combining all of the colors including a burnt orange with a bright pink with a sea blue were definitely outside my comfort zone.  I quilted the quilt with vertical lines a little less than 1/4" apart using a light gray Aurifil 50wt thread.  I love the look this dense quilting gave to the quilt and I finished the quilt with a binding of Kona coal.

 My original post was here and I am entering this quilt in the ROYGBIV quilt category.




My second quilt I am linking is my Improv Two Quilt in the Mini Quilt Category.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

    It's lovely - the colours are so perfectly balanced throughout the quilt and the quilting is the final touch.

    Very nice. I just did a small quilt with lots of straight lines so really appreciate the time it took for your quilting.
