Kona Printed Color Chart 24" Panel, Fabric by the Yard

Such a great idea by the fabric company! It's nice to see all the colors of these basic fabrics and be able to pick out coordinating hues.

I hated that I had to pay for this, but it really is great and helps a lot when trying to find gradients of colors for a quilt. Now with the big fabric retailer going out of business, this little gem will help a lot, since I can no longer go to a store to look at colors.

This chart is printed on cotton fabric and one panel covers the specturm of solid Kona fabrics. Since it is printed on fabric, it is an accurate chart. Good quality and good color saturation. Make my choices easier.

I purchased this for myself (although it was a bit of a pricey splurge) because I love my Kona cottons almost as much as I did my Michael Miller Fairy Frosts years ago. (And I still have more than 70 colours of that in my tote!)As has already been said, this is a printed reference and does not include actual samples of Kona. Therefore, you cannot count on 100% accuracy in the representation of colours--but as all of us who love textiles know, the best matching is done one-on-one anyway due to normal and expected variations in dye lots, etc.I would not rely on this chart to order Kona sight-unseen online if a perfect match were essential, but it would provide me a solid starting point as I searched for a dealer carrying the colours I wanted to see and compare to my project.I sewed my piece into a wall hanging using a dowel across the top, and it provides a lovely bit of colour in my sewing room as well.

If you are buying this so you can color match items to Kona cotton colors, be aware it doesn’t match them at all. I think because it’s printed and Kona cottons are dyed. So just be aware of that. If you are wanting to do that, like I am, go ahead and buy the actual color card from a quilt shop.

Was not very happy with this product very different from the chalkboard fabric I had used for a project from same fabric brand.

Beautiful, soft, lovely wool flannel fabric. Used it for a shawl-jacket for a seniors gift.

I love that I can use this color chart to match what I have with what I need, without having to drive hours to the quilting Meca, just one state below me. I'm not one for ordering fabric online, because of the color variances between what-you-see-on your computer monitor and what-you-get, in the mail. I should have bought one of these years ago!
