Crush – Kona’s Color of the Year
And it is GORGEOUS! Did you know that Robert Kaufman has Kona Cotton Color of the Year? Well I must say I am in love this year for sure. Crush – Kona’s Color of the Year for 2023 and I could not be more thrilled.
Did you know that when they issue a new color of the year, they also release all sorts of projects to celebrate it? They do!
Some of these are paid and some are free to use. So let’s take a look!
First up, let’s see what type of project we can purchase to make using Crush.
We have Berry Season by Elizabeth Hartman. What a cute quilt and great way to celebrate Spring/Summer! Pattern available at elizabethhartman.com or likely available through Fat Quarter Shop. It will be available February 2023. Click on the picture to shop FQS Elizabeth Hartman patterns!
Nova Star by Then Came June is another stunning quilt that really shows off Crush – Kona Color of the Year. I love that it is a block that can be repeated. Sometimes those are my favorite to make where you can just plug in an audio book or podcast and get into production mode! www.thencamejune.com has a tutorial and link to purchase this specific pattern. Click the picture to shop FQS for other Then Came June patterns.
