I've never used Kona Raisin, but it looks really rich and beautiful according to the picture I just looked at online. know shipping can be a pain, especially to Canada, and if you have a quilt shop that will do that, that is priceless! Thanks so much for following me!Kelly @ My Quilt Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383511246261347442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-59002144021718586842013-05-30T17:03:45.896-05:002013-05-30T17:03:45.896-05:00Oh bummer....

Ohhh, that makes me feel old :D<br />I was auditioning sashing colors for this coin quilt. I have a bit of Kona -Raisin, and I really like it but of course I'd need to get some more. I live on Vancouver Island in Canada and my local quilt shops don't carry a lot of solids. One of them is willing to order in whatever color I want though :). I was ordering from a lovely online shop (Pink Chalk) but the shipping is getting so expensive :(<br />I'm following your blog now so I'll be checking back to see what projects you come up with for the rest of the plaid shirts :)<br />Cheers!kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599423210557614839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-65938338651929614702013-05-30T14:05:26.560-05:002013-05-30T14:05:26.560-05:00What a great idea!

Yeah, I get a bit of tunnel vision when it comes to getting quilts finished, particularly if they're for someone else. :)<br /><br />I'm so glad your coin quilt is going well! Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'm happy to help!<br /><br />Sadly no, you are still a no-reply blogger. :( there are a few tutorials out there to help you fix that.

I've found that the key to making a quilt for guys is to use guy colors and fabrics and you are spot-on! What a wonderful way to honor your grandfather. The quilt is stunning and you could not have done better. Enjoy your summer; we finished last week and I am thrilled to be able to quilt any time I want!<br />Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-57988551327128981802013-05-30T00:06:37.697-05:002013-05-30T00:06:37.697-05:00That quilt is amazing!!

All the lucky recipients will treasure theirs too.<br />You got that done pretty quickly too, I'm very impressed!<br />Thanks again for helping me with my coins on the sidewalk quilt. I've worked on it last night and tonight. I'm not sure what color I'll use for sashing yet. I'll send you a photo when I'm done. I'm not nearly as fast as you though, haha.<br />I tried fixing my no-reply status but I'm not sure if I was successful or not. :/kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599423210557614839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-11275548019396852062013-05-29T23:56:41.556-05:002013-05-29T23:56:41.556-05:00What a fabulous quilt!
