I did once bring back a bolt of Kona cotton pfd, and liked it - as you say, a bit heavier, but good for applique as it turned nicely. I used it for my millenium quilt (which was machine quilted, however). I think my two lengths of wider fabric must be Kona cotton, as they are a bit heavier, too. The red length went for the back of the red and white Hawaiian quilt, and I still have a length of dark blue to use..I will be posting about my marking method for echo quilting, it is not very high tech, but it works for me and is easy and accurate...Pippa Moss - Welsh Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102958156763153144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738660161076439950.post-25002919524093135452010-08-07T11:07:55.364+01:002010-08-07T11:07:55.364+01:00You might try the on line shop-Simply Solids...the...You might try the on line shop-Simply Solids...they specialize in Kona cottons and are in the UK. (check out the blog too-they're having a give away). <br /><br />Personally I don't like Kona that much...its a little heavier than a muslin but not quite a broadcloth but the thread count isn't too bad.Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245963180065978054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738660161076439950.post-57367459567696701542010-08-06T22:45:45.549+01:002010-08-06T22:45:45.549+01:00Oh those are absolutely gorgeous.

I have been looking myself for a cotton that I can hand quilt. I bought the Gees Bend fabric but still have to test it for hand quilting. The weave seems like a batik so it may not hand quilt that well?Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788501040456075846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738660161076439950.post-19120692359202281612010-08-05T12:51:09.415+01:002010-08-05T12:51:09.415+01:00No affiliation, but I bought a couple of pieces of...No affiliation, but I bought a couple of pieces of extra-wide backing fabric from Sew Batik ( http://www.sewbatik.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=82 ) one dark, one light, to do a Hawaiian applique quilt. I love doing applique with batiks, and thought it might be suitable for something like this.
