Thanks for letting us know. I use Kona in pretty much every quilt I make. I'd love to get some on sale at Hancock's, but our Hancock's sold a whole bunch of it on sale a month or so ago & they never really restocked it. Off to shop online I guess.

Just my 2 cents... I would not recommend the Quilters Only Solids. They frequently have little pale spots on them. It's caused by the manufacturing process; they don't remove all the fuzz and lint before dying it, so the dye does not penetrate fully under the fuzzballs. When you brush off the fuzzballs, you find the pale spots. Also, I've never been able to find unblemished white in this line.
Never a problem with quality in the Kona cottons, though.

Maybe it's $5.99 here then. I can't remember for sure-it's been a while. I'm hoping I can get to a big Joann's before the year ends. Ours only has a few colors and I have a lot of yardage of the ones there that I like.
