Beautiful Solids

I really have a passion for beautifully colored solid fabrics. Most of my quilts feature the wonderful fabrics and colors found in the Robert Kaufman Kona collection.

Yesterday I treated myself to 16 different colors from Robert Kaufman's Chambray collection. These new fabrics have a gorgeous quality to them!


Their beauty is due to how they are woven. Instead of one color used for both the warp and the weft, two different colors are used.


See how the warp and weft in this fabric are different colors? When woven together the colors blend to create this beautiful "Moth'" color!


Can you see how the this also gives the fabric a luminous iridescent look? Gorgeous!
