Robert Kaufman 30 Quilts for 30 Years - A Celebration of Kona Cotton

Kona Cotton from Robert Kaufman Fabrics is 30 years old this year, and they asked 30 designers to create 30 quilts to celebrate the occasion. Today is my day on the 30 Quilts for 30 Years Blog Hop. I'm so excited to share my Lotus Quilt in Kona with you.




When I starting pulling fabrics for this Lotus quilt I was also working on my wedding quilt... so those colors were kinda stuck in my head.

At first I was thinking I'd use blues for one set of blocks and greens for the other... But I ended up splitting them more by darks & lights. I picked the colors Honey Dew & Storm for the background triangles. Here is a complete list of all the colors I ended up using.

I picked Caribbean for the binding.



Quilt Details 
Fabric is Kona Solids by Robert Kaufman
Pattern - Lotus, JBQ 128
Designed by me
Quilted by Angela Walters
Started on 7/16/14
Finished on 7/28/14
Quilt measures - 52" x 60"



I adore this quilt and I'm going to miss her so much while she travels around in a trunk show for the next year. I think I might have to make a second one...
Lotus is one of my Hex N More ruler patterns. You can find the pattern and the ruler at online and local quilt shops.



I think it is really cool how Angela quilted a medallion into the center of the quilt.

More detail of Angela's amazing quilting.

I used a bunch of the trimmings from the front to make my quilt label strip on the back.





Here I am showing the quilt at schoolhouse during Quilt Market.


----

After I made the Lotus quilt I decided to make a Mini Lotus in the same colors. 

I wanted all of the colors to be in the exact place, so I sewed together my triangle scraps in the exact order of the blocks.  I pinned it up on my design wall for easy reference.

Here are some photos from when I made the mini...

All the mini jewels cut from my Mini Hex N More ruler, lined up and ready for piecing.

Here's some detail of Angela's amazing quilting on the Mini Lotus.

Here is the Mini Lotus hanging up at quilt market on the Bird on a Branch Ackfeld Wire Quilt Hanger.


Here you can see a video of Angela Walters quilting the miniature version of my Kona Lotus:

Debby said...

I have never made a mini-quilt, but would try with these solids.

Gene Black said...

I am actually making a quilt with some Kona right now. What I have learned so far is that I need a Kona color card.
I bought Storm at one place and Nautical at another, thinking they were the same deep navy. (Nautical is darker.)

I would love these charms to make another delightful solids quilt set in Kona Snow, which I already have waiting for a project.

Julie Kaye from KS said...

Love your quilt! I am working with Kona Snow on two projects right now. And have made a Super Mario Brothers quilt from all Kona fabrics about two years ago. It's a great fabric to work with.

Lori said...

wow your quilt and mini quilt are gorgeous. your FMQ is so wonderful. I would make some pillows for our front room. Our couches fabrics are on the busy side. quilting dash lady at Comcast dot net

Johanna said...

You always pick out the best colors! I'm thinking that I need to make Snacktime. I have everything I need, Kona of course. It looks like it is time for me to splurge on a color card.

Rebecca said...

I want to use these to play with color in my dining room. Placemats, napkins, wall hanging!

Andrea said...

That is absolutely beautiful. And your points are perfect!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Unknown said...

I would make a Candy Dish pillow with the Kona charm pack. I love your quilt. I would hate to let it go also. All of your patterns are wonderful. I had two daughters get married this year. Congratulations and enjoy your upcoming wedding.

Joanna said...

Next year I'll be working on two quilts that will be made completely in Kona solids! One will be a gift (earth tones like Terracotta) and the other will be for me (rainbow colors including one of my favorites, Poppy). Can't wait to get started :)

bee said...

something with equilateral triangles i'm thinking. love the look of this!

Kari Nitzel said...

A stainglass window quilt sounds like something in my near future.

Unknown said...

I love your new Lotus Quilt! I use Kona Cotton lots as I often use the white in backgrounds of most of my quilts. I would love one of your Hexagon rulers- that looks nifty! Thanks for the giveaway!

Gill said...

I'd love to make your Lotus quilt !
I love the colours you used too!

Brandy said...

I've been inspired to make a sampler quilt using only Kona solids after seeing some of the amazing pieces in this blog hop. I came across one using only red, yellow, blue, black, and white and it really struck me how vivid and happy a quilt it was, so I'd like to play with that. Thank you for the giveaway!

Haley said...

Great colors. I'm working on learning more shapes, so I'd use in the lap quilt I'm planning.

Linda said...

This lotus quilt is my first favorite from the book and I would love to attempt it. I haven't had much luck with triangles, but I could use the practice. The colors are perfect also. The local quilters store is going to be featuring some of the quilts with lessons and I am hoping that your quilt will be one I can make. Love your art.

Unknown said...

I've already pre-ordered Gravity; I love Kona solids. It's my "go to" for my favorite projects. My perfect quilt work room would have a yard of every color on hand!

BizyStitches said...

One word "Lovely", I think I could tackle the mini, but wow a big quilt would be scary. The project I would pick is I've been wanting to make a chevron quilt before they go out of style.

Barbe said...

great color palette you put together, love working with kona,

Kristin said...

That is a beautiful quilt! The colors you used are close to the colors that I plan to use to make a quilt for my parents for their 45th anniversary. I think I might go with solids, as you did, and I know that Kona will have what I need! Thanks!

capparks0229 said...

I've been thinking I need to make an all-solid quilt and maybe a mini is a good place to start! I love several of your mini patterns! I've also seen a quilt I'd like to make called "Water Ripples" in the book "Optical Illusions". The colors are similar to those in your quilt.

OMG! That quilt is a geometry teacher's dream-not me! Love the color combos. i love Kona's grays and have used them in two quilts in the past year. I love the solid colors of the Amish quilts-they inspire me to create the same feel with my quilts, heavy contrast.

Lisa Boyer said...

The quilt I've always wanted to make: a Double Wedding Ring. I think it would look wonderful in solids!

Carmen N said...

I'm a sucker for blues and greens so I love your quilt! I'd love to make a Churn Dash quilt using the same colors

I want to make one of your mini Science Fair patterns with Kona Solids!

Robin said...

Your blue-green Lotus quilt is gorgeous! I've really come to enjoy working with solids and I love combining them with prints. I really want to make a quilt for my 7-year-old that incorporates both that can grow with him (more so than the Maisy quilt I made for him when he was 3!). :)

Vicki H said...

I would like to make a mini quilt with the Kona solids.

Allison Sews said...

I would love to make a quilt out of solid half square triangles!! I'd use 4 or 5 different solids and just randomly arrange them.

I am working on an idea for a quilt that is going to include all 303 Kona Cotton Colors! Hoping to have it done next year, hopefully before they add more colors! LOL

I still would like to make your Daybreak quilt, but have tried to order it twice, and they were sold out by the time they got to my order. I will find it one day! Love your Lotus quilt!

Bettina said...

Ohhh- I have to say I'd love to use the KOna with your mini hex ruler, as they are terribly difficult to get here in Germany! My mum has been dropping hints for new placemats and a table runner, so I think that would be an ideal Kona & Hex project!

Barb said...

I want to make a 1600 quilt with solids...looks so cool. Thanks for the post of your beautiful quilt!

Your Lotus quilt is beautiful but I adore your Chopsticks pattern the most,and am thinking of trying it using all solids in shades of Kona purples, with Kona snow sashings. Thanks for the chance to win!

Sew in Time said...

I have never made a "mini quilt" but have seen patterns in my LQS for them. This would be the perfect opportunity to make one for my quilting room! I've never made a quilt with just solids - yeah, it's true!

I love working with solids--somehow quilts made with solids remind me of stained glass windows. But, I think my next solids project will be cushion covers. They'll be jewelery for a white sofa.

I have always wanted to make a rainbow chevron quilt. I have some fabrics saved up, but need a few more greens and pinks and reds to complete my stash before I begin.
It never ceases to amaze me how you designers are able to just come up with such great ideas out of the blue...I'm more of a pattern user type gal, not the creative type like you...nice job!

Beth said...

I am thinking of making a log cabin quilt, improv style, in autumnal colors. Kona has such a great array of choices. The hard part won't be finding Kona colors to use in the quilt, it will be knowing when to stop adding beautiful colors to the ones I've chosen.

Jodi - usairdoll said...

What a gorgeous quilt! I love your use of color. Angela's quilting is amazing as always. Your patterns look so awesome in solids and I'd love to make Night Sky and Tiny Dancer, just to name two, hehe.

That is one spectacular quilt and the quilting is over the top gorgeous! carolann427@aol.com

I love this Lotus quilt! I have been collecting Kona solids in blues and greens to make a 60-degree triangle quilt, but this Lotus quilt has made me completely rethink it! The Lotus pattern is so much more interesting, and I adore the impact the Honey Dew and Storm triangles make on the whole composition. Angela's quilting takes it over the top!

What a gorgeous quilt--it's like all the colors of the ocean! I'd be tempted to make something similar with Kona cottons, or perhaps a quilt that's all equilateral triangles.

Recently we redecorated my granddaughter's new bedroom and I have been searching for a pattern for her bed. This pattern and colors are PERFECT. Every color is in her room. Kona Cotton is my "go to" solid.She would love this combination. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

Gorgeous. The quilting really sets off your design. I've just finished making tangrams as holiday gifts for all the little ones in our lives and am hoping to make a rainbow pinwheel quilt and a garden scene with path and flowers and maybe a small pond using hexis made from Kona, Oh and baby clothes. I am a little bit in love with Kona I guess and have been stock piling Fat Quarters as I try to clear some working space.
