Thanks for bringing this post to my attention and kudos to Kaufman for sending this information. So is the Kona at Joanns made by Kaufman?

Mary Jo's in Gastonia, NC is where I get Kona cottons.
She does have a web site.

Hi Rita,
sorry I cannot help you with the answer. I love the Fiesta BOM and was thinking on doing it. I actually printed the pattern for Block 1- question: how do you check that the patterns are printing at the right size?

The Kona at our Joann's has a Robert Kaufman label on the end. I have both the Kona from Joann's and from Hancock's of Paducah and I can't tell any difference.

No, not at My JoAnn's it isn't. You can see your hand through it. :roll: If you buy at least one yard at Hancock's of Paducah you get a 20% quantity discount...works out to be 4.78 per yard.

Kona is a registered brand by Robert Kaufman. Anything that is not Kaufman shouldn't be labeled Kona. There is another line of fabrics called Kona Bay, but they are mainly Asian fabrics. In some places when you search for Kona it takes you to a Broadcloth that sells for $1.69 per yard and the fabric is 60 inches wide. This fabric is great for some purposes, but doesn't compare to Kaufman's Kona.
