{ I can sew a rainbow }

I have fallen in love with quilts 

made from solid colored fabrics.

I love the weight and feel of Kona Cottons.

As I build my stash of Kona, it has become clear

that there is no way I can remember all of the colors

and there is no labeling on the selvage.

{There are currently 271 colors offered by Robert Kaufman}

I came up with the perfect solution.

As soon as I buy a color,

I take a fine point Sharpie {black or brown}

and write enough of the color name

on the selvage on one end of the yardage

so that I can identify it later

BEFORE I wash the fabric.

After I take it out of the dryer,

I trace over the name again if necessary.

When I go to cut a piece off the fabric, I cut from the opposite end,

preserving the name until the last couple of inches.

I just wish I would have thought of this sooner -

I have some 'orphans' that I don't remember their names.

Who knew there could be so many shades of blue!
