  2. I've made several of various sides so far. Working on more, it is kinda joyous to work with all solids - I like not having to think TOO hard and I find I find working with prints can be more work and second guessing.

  3. Yes, I love making all solid quilts! I've made them in the past, and expect to in the future. :)

  4. I really like working with solids and took part in the Simply Solids bee last year - my Fallow group bee mates made some wonderful X and + blocks in solids and I love how the quilt turned out!

  6. I made a solids only quilt years ago, but have been in the scrappy zone ever since! Would love to give it another go, especially now my skills are improving

  7. I have never made a quilt with all solids but I would love to. I'm very inspired by Charlotte at DisplacementActivity and by Alissa Haight Carlton and I absolutely love your Comet and Dreams of Summer quilts, so I think a couple of solids only quilts are in my near future.

  8. I have never made anything at all with just solids but I would like to have a go at a triangle quilt with them. Thanks for a great giveaway. x

  9. I've only made 2 solids quilts. Loved the effect of the super intense colours together and the blocks forming the major pattern. The solids felt freer to work with too.

  11. I use Kona solids all the time in my quilts as I love the colours in the extensive range which set off patterned fabrics very well. I have not made a solids only quilt although it is certainly a thought for a future quilt. The Giveaway would be marvellous to win!

  12. Oh yes, I d like to Do one in future

  13. My bee buddies are making me solids blocks at the moment! I am really loving the look of it! And one day I would like to make a triangle quilt out of solids! It's definitely on my 'to-do' list! Thanks for the giveaway- these are brilliant fabrics!

  14. I love making solid only quilts and so far they have all been made from kona as well.

    ReplyDelete
  15. No I haven't done a quilt with just solids... But I am collecting solids.... Still In that phase...lol...and these new colours would be such a happy add to my stash... Oh think of what one can do with them...they are gorgeous!!

  17. I have never made a quilt with only soliids

  18. Have made several small quilts with mainly solids, with a couple of prints scattered through - most recently one of Elizabeth Hartman's - but would definitely try all solids if the right pattern grabs me. Thanks.

  19. I've never made a solids-only quilt but would give it a go if I won that lovely bundle!

  20. I've just finished Cluck Cluck Sew's Suburbs pattern in solids. It turned out great. Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  21. What a generous giveaway! I've not yet made a solids only quilt but I've had an idea for a modern solid colours quilt top that's been percolating for a while; this bundle would be perfect to try it out.

    ReplyDelete
  22. when I first started quilting solids is all I used, and will be doing another soon.. Love these newer solids!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've never made an all solids quilt but I'd love to start with the 'Canvas' pattern!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have, it was a baby quilt made with a bunch of vintage solid HST's and Kona bone. I would definitely make another solids quilt!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I've made a quilt top that was entirely solid, but used a print on the back! I suppose that doesn't count! I would totally make an all solids in the future though. I've got one drawn up already!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes, I'm happy to say that I have made one solids only quilt and I love it (I've made a few pillows in only solids, too, again they are favourites). I actually have another solids quilt idea all sketched up and waiting. Just working out the colours and trying to decide how big I will make it. I love Kona solids and the new colours are mouth watering gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to win some!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have made a quilt with *almost* all solids, but I've been brainstorming a lot lately about doing one that is only solids. Perhaps it is the crisp fall weather and brilliant blue to the skies-- I wouldn't want to dilute if with patterns. Some ideas I'm considering: Stripes of varying lengths, Pojagi-inspired shapes, a huge rectangular log cabin, with varying widths of strips, and an HST-based improv design.......
    I love the new Kona colors!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I have the fabrics for a solid only quilt, though I haven't started it yet. Frankly, I didn't think I'd ever want to make an all solid quilt, but I fell hard for this pattern and then my mother gave me a gift certificate to a small organic fabric company that had mostly solids and it just seemed like it was meant to be! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I've made several solids-only quilts. My favorite was made with the Kona Cottons Poseidon FQ bundle -- it looks like a mass of sea glass!

    ReplyDelete
  30. The first large quilt I finished was all solids. I do wish that I had used a fun print on the back. I would definitely make an all solids quilt top again!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I have hardly used solids so far in my quilting, apart from for sashing and borders, but I would love to make an all solids quilt - I love the look of them :-)

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love solids, but somehow have only managed to make a single mini quilt that was all solids. I do have two pillow cases in the plans though.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Never made a solids quilt. I thought a free motion sampler would look so pretty with these fabrics, I would make that. 24Tangent@gmail.com

  34. I have never made a quilt with only solids but after seeing all the beautiful ones out there, I am going to have to give it a shot!

  35. Yes, I have made a couple solids only baby quilts. Both of them were in scarlet and grey and white (Ohio State colors). Go Bucks! Of course I would make a solids only quilt. Thanks for the chance to win a good start on it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. yes, I made a couple of solids only. HST and log cabins

  40. I want very much to make a quilt with all solids. I just made a beautiful fat quarter pack like this one!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I have a pattern called "chop & sew" a "from the nest" design. It calls for 12 fqs and I have 9 colors set aside (all darks) but have not decided on the last 3. That will be my first solid only quilt. I love adding solids to prints - I have made three quilts with pezzy prints and solids - love them all.

    ReplyDelete
  42. These new colors are amazing! I have made and finished one solids quilt, with blocks of appliqued elephants and piano keys borders. I have made a bright solids log cabin quilt top and hope to finish it soon. Both are wall quilts, and solids seem to be SO appropriate for wall quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I've got everything ready for my next quilt. It is Kona Cotton used in an appliqué quilt. My first all solids quilt.

    I wonder if any of the new colors would replace the ones I have already picked out.

    ReplyDelete
  44. it's on my to do list but haven't got there yet, would love to win this and then could do it. tjwbewatcharterdotnet

    ReplyDelete
  47. I haven't ever made an all solids quilt, but I would certainly consider it for the way it can really make the pattern shine

    ReplyDelete
  48. No I haven't made a solids only quilt but have made tone on tone only quilts. While I see many solid quilts that I love, I am still not sure that I would make one. Love the new kona solids and would put them to good use

    ReplyDelete
  49. The first "big" quilt I made was done entirely in solids. I ordered a Kona Cotton Color card specifically for this project and picked all the colors from the furniture in our living-room. I loved being able to use the exact same colors as in the couch, table runner, pillows, ...
    Thanks for the giveaway! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  54. My problem is that I'm so attracted to the prints that I forget that solids are absolutely necessary in quilting! LOL No, I've never made an all solid quilt, but I'd consider it to do something that's out of my box. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  84. The main reason I have not made a totally solids quilt is that I don't have enough variety of solids in my stash. So.....if I were to win, say, a bundle of 33 Kona solids fat quarters, I'd definitely make a solids quilt. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com

    ReplyDelete
  85. I haven't so far, but I'm about to try one. I love how they look.

  111. I love reading your blog and have been impressed by the work done with solids. Like many quilters, I am tiring of prints at the moment. So many contemporary improvised quilts are appearing in blogs and I am very keen to have a go. Your giveaway would be an amazing starting point, as I have not made a solids-only quilt in the past.
