Earlier this month the team at Robert Kaufman announced the 2017 Kona Color of the Year and it is Pink Flamingo. This is the second year that a limited edition color has been released (last year's color was Kona Highlight), to be retired at the end of this year.

Of course I couldn't wait to get my hands on some (and no, I didn't buy a whole bolt). The color is quite a warm but vibrant pink, aptly named Pink Flamingo. As always I enjoying playing with color and trialled numerous color combinations for a quilt that I have been planning to make for some time. The final color palette ~

  4. I know. Y seams, and it is not that hard. You are incredibly industrious, Rita. That makes me very happy because we enjoy the creative escapades you venture in. I do not like this warm pink, but you did cool it off nicely. Parchment and white kona are such trusty colors.
    I hope you are well. Thank you for sharing everything you do

  6. Beautiful! I have seen Flamingo and am excited to use it, but I haven't decided on a project yet. I love your Hexagons and the flamingo looks great with the white and the parchment!

  9. Love this colour! I would have had problems restraining myself and I would have bought a whole bolt!

    Hmmm, it's the Year of the Rooster, and the colour of the year is Flamingo. 2017 definitely has an avian theme!
