Have you seen Ty Pennington's debut fabric line, Impressions? I bought some a few weeks ago and turned some of it into this pillow.
The details are gorgeous.
The patterns are so balanced and symmetrical and the colors are fresh and bold.
Would you like a stack of your own?? I thought so. :)
Meet my second sponsor, Marmalade Fabrics! I have been shopping with Tammy and I just love working with her. I especially love her rewards program! She has great communication and her selection of fabric is unique. She is also a talented quilter! Here's a little about Tammy...
Everything changed for me in the spring of 2010 when I discovered modern quilting. I had quilted for years prior to that, but suddenly quilting moved from one of my hobbies to a full-blown passion. Less than a year later, I opened Marmalade Fabrics.
I've been married 7 years to a creative man-of-my-dreams and we have 2 sons; Quinten is 5 and Zach is 3 years old. I'm very content with my life as wife and mommy. Now that I've opened Marmalade Fabrics, I can say that I've finally found my professional calling.
Here's what Marmalade Fabrics is all about:
Exceptional Service (This has top priority in my book.)
Fair Pricing (A must for any business.)
Variety of Cuts (Order one fat quarter if that's all you need.)
Rewarding Returning Clients (Our rewards program is simple. Earn $10 free fabric for every $100 you spend in twelve month's time. Choose from any fabric in stock. It's like getting an additional 10% off every order.)
Offering Organic Options (I'm committed to offering organic cotton fabrics and eco-friendly batting as alternative choices.)
For me, Marmalade Fabrics is more than just a business, it's a passion to provide modern fabric to quilters & artists and to support the awesome modern quilting community.
Tammy has generously offered to give away a Fat Bunch of Impressions in the spice colorway! How do you win? Easy. Head over to Marmalade Fabrics, visit the Kona Cotton Solids section, pick your favorite and come back and tell me. I think you are going to love Marmalade's selection... :)
The giveaway will run through midnight on Sunday and I will announce the winner on Monday. Good luck!

It will have to be the Azure Kona Solid! I have been resisting buying blues for a while, trying to even up some of the other colors, but I just couldn't resist that one....
I think it would have to be the mulberry, so hard to choose
I'm loving the Coal Kona right now. So many pretty colors to choose from. Thank you for the great fabric give-away.
I pick Chartruse because it's an ongoing joke with my husband about what colour that really is! Love it!
I'd have to go with the Peridot Kona Cotton. :) It was really hard to choose just one though!
pomegranate, purple, aqua - the more I look, the harder to choose. Such a rich selection. Today I will go with pomegranate as I need a dress that colour.
I am totally in love with greens and purples right now. It's impossible to choose just one because of the great selection. Peridot is lovely but so is Grass Green and Lime. Ooo and the Crocus and Dark Violet are delish! So pardon my lack of a favorite, it's just too hard to choose.
Congrats on your new sponsor. I'd never been to their website and will definitely go back and have a good look. My favourite kona cotton at the moment is Pomegranate. Love it.
Today, it's Jade Greeen. Tomorrow, who knows? ;-)
Pistachio for me - it's just gorgeous!
Thanks for the chance to win, and wlcome Marmalade Fabrics :-)
I would have to say kona ash since it works in so many quilts!
Chartreuse! And that pillow is gorgeous!
Really hard to choose a color, but loving the bright colors so I like the petunia. Honestly I love Kona black which I use a lot for sashings and bindings, goes with so much, thought it would be boring to pick black.
I would love to win me some Ty fabric, I bet that will never make it's way over to Europe!
My fave Kona is Pepper at the moment, I just love that there's a different shade of black. And Essex linen, I don't think I could ever get bored of that. Oh and celery...did you say pick just one Kona solid?!
Oooohhhh....acqua or ash, or even better, both of them! Lovely! And a lovely giveaway too, thanks!
Oh it is hard to pick one kona solid! I have to say it is pepper for me....love it. Thanks for a chance to win!
I'm loving Nightfall and Ocean right now...guess I'm just in a blue mood right now! I'm usually a much brighter color person...
That is a really nice fabric line. I like the Aqua And eggplant of the konas.
Best wishes
Susanne
That was really hard, I think it would have to be Pacific, or maybe Pepper, then again it could be lagoon, Tomato maybe? I could go on and on. Beautiful selection to choose from.
Wow what a wonderful fabric site. I love all of them but my favourite is Pacific Kona Cotton. Thank you for sharing.
Its oh so hard to choose a favourite! Can I pick 2... :-) Its a toss up between Bright Periwinkle, or Coal. Or both, you know... whatever! Marmalade fabrics sounds like a lovely store I will definately try (next pay check...).
Love Ty, Love Impressions, Love Marmalade, Love the giveaway ♥
I hate to sound drab... but chocolate kona is my favorite color at the moment. Brown is so comforting and warm.
It's hard to decide, but I always seem to gravitate towards purple and I don't have Krocus or was it Crocus? Love that one.
And I love ty's new line!! thanks for the chance.
Lagoon! I really like many of them all together,though. Nice selection and great prices! Thanks for sending us there.
They've got a great selection! My personal fave right now is Ice Frappe :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway, Tammy and Jennifer!
My fav is the Cardinal Kona! What a fantastic selection!!
Bright Periwinkle. Hands down. Closest to my favorite color (Crayola Purple Mountain Majesty). I'd build an entire quilt off that color and it would be just for me!
And what a great shop! Thanks for sending me there!!
Gorgeous pillow!! What a nice giveaway!! Love Kona eggplant!
Happy Stitching!

At the moment I'm loving 'School Bus' though I have to say I've never seen a bus that colour!!
Hey Jennifer, I'm loving aqua. Thanks
I'm really boring, but I really really like Kona Coal. It's such a perfect neutral with so many other prints. I will say though, Nightfall definitely caught my eye as well.
My always favorite Kona solid is charcoal, so versatile!
I would go with the petunia.
I'm torn between Cayenne and Cactus. Perhaps that's because my favorite color is red, and most of the people I know love green so much it's rubbing off!!! thanks for the chance. Ty's fabrics are so awesome, and would even work for a "guy quilt."
Oh my.. so many choices... I would have to go with Rich Red Kona Cotton.. but it was hard to choose. Whew!
I love the Kona Lagoon, it looks like it might work well with the Sanctuary bundle available at Marmalade. What a beautiful shop, a definite keeper!
I love the tangerine, so bright and cheery especially with all this snow. Thanks for the chance to win.
I'm loving the peridot right now...reminds me of SPRING (can I get an AMEN?)
Thanks for a great giveaway!
How do you choose with Kona???? Right now I'd like to get my hands on some "coal" for a quilt.
Thanks for letting us in on great fabric shopping, When I get home I'm going shopping :0 I like Cardinal. Thanks for the giveaway.
That is a great selection of Kona solids. I loooooove the Papaya. And ps- it looks awesome with Cactus!
actually I love just plain white or snow - I like to do scrappy quilts with the white as it looks so crisp and fresh - please count me in your give away.

Ash kona solid is a great cne for backgrounds!
Your pillow is fabulous!
barberg@sbcglobal.net
I'm digging the Curry Kona Solid right now to back the Sliced Coins QA that I am participating in. Like your pillow!
The fabric is beautiful! It's kinda hard to chose one color! I love amber and school bus...paired up with some chocolate or sable! =) Great shop...adding it to my favs!
Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
Azure--I need some blue skies after all this snow! Plus it will look great with some of my Amy Butler quarters...
So neat that you featured Ty Pennington--I was just looking at his designs to make my husband an insulated lunch bag! He loves his show, so I knew the fabric would be a hit.
Going back to Marmalade to do some serious browsing; congrats on lining up such great sponsors!

Oh goodness, just one??? I think it would be the School Bus orange- I love that shade and I don't think I've seen that one before!
Marmalade Fabrics is my favorite online shop. Try it. You'll like it! Lake from Kona is my current favorite solid. I use it with everything.
I'm really loving Lupine & Cerise-not my usual colors, but they are yummy!
One color? Really? That's just brutal. Marmalade has a great selection of Kona. I guess my current pick would be lagoon. Even the word sounds cool. Thanks for introducing us. I'm checking out the site now.
My favorite is the Peacock...it's just so pretty and happy.
What a nice site. I think that my favorite (today, right now) is Paprika. Maybe I like the idea of a little spice right now.
I really love that Crocus.....reminds me of Spring.
I'm already a customer at Marmalade; she really does a wonderful job with orders.
My favorite is the Violet Kona Cotton! Purple is my favorite color!
babyfickas at gmail dot com
I like Azure Kona Cotton!
While I should say "Coal" is my favorite, based on my current Work-in-PLANNING, I will have to go with "Curry". I love it, so warm and yummy. :)
Wow! I'm soo in love with Crocus color! Must add this to my stash =S
What a generous giveway!! xx
What a wonderful selection of solids... just beautiful! Thank you for the opportunity to win some fabric! My favorite solid is the Pomegranate...
I know everyone is going to say Coal or Medium Grey, so I'll say this: I would describe myself as either Sky or Ice Frappe right now. I'm not using either one in a project, but I'd say they are "me".
Fantastic! As I'm about to write that my favorite color would be the medium grey or coal... I see that soo many others chose that too! Funny. I want to try using some grey and mustard yellow for my next project. Thx for the giveaway. I'm going to go shopping now over at Marmalade! :)
First off, love the pillow!
After visiting Marmalade Fabrics, the High Society fabrics caught my eye. I am thinking of placing an order for a bundle. The grays are something else these days - lovely!
In the Kona solids, the Mulberry and Nightfall jumped out at me!
I'm going with Curry or Ochre. Something about the spiciness and warmth of those colors is talking to me today.
My favorite Kona Solid is Bone. Though many others caught my eye. That is just the one I think I'd use no matter what the project. :)
Coal for a neutral and Crocus and Pacific for because they are rich and vibrant at the same time.
She does have a very large selection of colors. I love the Mango Kona Solid. Very nice! I love his fabric, I am shocked he has his own fabric line. Good for him!
I love the Kona Peridot - green is one of my favorite colors and that is a gorgeous color. I could use it with my stash to create something gorgeous I am sure. Thanks for sharing about Marmalade. I've bookmarked it and will definitley be buying some fabric there.
I really like the presentation of Tammy's shop ~ and all the fabric, patterns and everything else she has for sale. Very impressive. I'm not one to buy online, but I might make an exception with her shop!
It's always hard for me to choose just one, but if I have to it would be lime.
thanks for the chance, I'm really liking Ty Pennington's new line.
I think my favourite is Bone. Not so bright, but still perfect to make my favourite colours pop (hot pinks, reds, bright greens)
I'm partial to Cayenne and School Bus - love those warm reds and oranges!
Thanks for the chance to win some Impressions! I was just ogling this line on Marmalade's site yesterday.
Love this bold fabric!
I've been liking Navy lately, so I'm going to go with the "Nightfall".
I'm so boring, it's the kona white that I'll be purchasing (I'm so excited you got such an awesome new sponsor, I needed to buy some fabric I've had pp burning a hole in my virtual pocket!) For just a color that whispers sweet nothings to me though, I'd say the dark violet, it's gorgeous.
I like the Red Kona Cotton. Marmalade Fabrics has a great selection of Kona and lovely modern
fabrics I don't get to see much of here in Canada. Lovely pillow and lovely giveaway. Thank You. Luba
chris.luba@sympatico.ca
I like Aqua Kona, The pillow is gorgeous!...Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh, I've been wanting to order some of Ty's line ~ I think it would look great in a row of pillows on my bed :)
I'd pick Kona Ash or Bone ~ I could use some more basics in my stash!
THANKS for the chance!
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
love the variety of Kona solids but I think the coal is my favorite. Never made anything with that color but I think I am going to have to change that.
Jade Green Kona Cotton? How can you ask a girl to choose just one!? ;-)
Thank you for having this giveaway!
cblakley0531@gmail.com
So hard to pick just one, They are all so pretty. I would love to have the Cactus Kona color.
Her fabrics on the site are so pretty, now I need to go back and take the time to really check out all the fabric
Mmmm... She has all my favorites: aqua, ash, coal, bone... but one of my new faves is ice frappé!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Kona Ash has to be my favorite and most used!
There's something about the Bright Periwinkle that makes me very happy. But there are so many other great solids as well :)
Azure and artichoke, probably not together. : )
Lagoon is speaking to me at the moment ;)
Cactus and Canary - greens and yellows are always my top picks!
Hi Jennifer. Great giveaway. I would pick Zucchini, or maybe Petunia, or Lagoon is lovely too! They are all so nice! :)
sandangels1945@hotmail.com
Love her site! I love that you get free shipping after $25. Who can't easily spend $25?I've wanted to do a solids quilt with Pepper and Peacockfor a while. Thanks for the generous giveaway. Love Ty's fabrics!
Very beautiful colors. I never seem to buy solids, but these colors are so vivid. I liked Peridot.
Kona Snow is my go to Kona neutral.
Nightfall is so very pretty!
Oh I love this new line of fabric! Awesome! Since I'm a total freak over red, it was hard from me to choose. There were several shades of red, but I think I'll go with Tomato. BTW, Robert Kaufman Kona cotton rocks.
Thank you for the link to this wonderful new site and for the chance in your contest!
Papaya is so bright and happy. I would love to do a citrus colored quilt! What a great site!
I have to pick "medium grey" becuase it will go so well with this FW set, and I have so many bold and brights in my stash already. A calming influence could be just what future projects need!
Going to sound silly, but I love the way pretty colored fabrics pop when set with White Kona Cotton! Thanks for offering the give away!
I love the peridot kona. I love green and it happens to be my birthstone.
Love that pillow!! Congrats on the new sponsor! I went to look at the Konas and forgot about posting back because I got lost in Marmalade Fabrics - LOL! I believe I need some Kona Ash. I need some neutrals that aren't white or cream. But I'm going back to purchase some of the GORGEOUS Bird Tree fabric. I LOVE it!!! Gotta have it!!!
Charcoal Kona is hard to come by off the shelf, so that would be my pick...and at such a great price! Tammy is a member of theKCMQG and I made recent purchase from her......great shop!
I would go with Kona Ash. Thanks for a great giveaway, I love this line!
At any given moment, I would pick a different favourite. But at this given moment I'm picking Pomegranate.
Nice shop. I'm going back to look around some more.
I agree to choose just on would be so hard, but Pomegranate is calling my name! Who knew they had so many choices?? Love them all. Ty's line is fabulous! Thanks for a great giveaway. Jenn
What a great shop! I've never used gray in any significant amount, but I am loving how people are using it these days. I would probably say Coal or Ash would be interesting to try out!
Lupine looks like a fun purple to work with. :)
Pomegranate Kona solid - I joined Marmalade's mailing list way back on her first launch and kept it through her web site "redo"...and now .. because she is a genuinely nice person. Thanks for the giveaway - have definite projects could make with Impressions. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
I love it......I love the colors
Kona Crocus -- both for the yummy color and the springtime name. That pillow is beautiful--nicely done. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Oh, I love this new Ty Pennington line!! I'd buy Kona in Artichoke - such a fun color! Thanks for the giveaway!!
For me right now it would be the ash or coal konas. Thanks for the giveway!
So hard to pick just one, they are all so beautiful but today I'll choose Jade Green
To actually use I'd have to say Ash is my favorite because it is so versatile. But if we're talking straight up favorite color, I love me some Aqua. :)
I am such a fan of Ice Frappe! It goes with everything! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I haven't been able to find a lavender coverlet to go on my bed, so that means making a throw quilt is in the planning stage for me. So my pick of Kona Cotton's colors is Violet! To start with
I love that peacock color.
Turqoise, no wait, Kiwi or maybe Papaya......do I have to pick one?
How do you choose just one?! I really love the chartreuse. Thanks for spotlighting this fabric store. I'll definitely be going back!
Coal. I just ordered it and the chartreuse Ty Pennington Impressions!! Thanks for the giveaway.
I have been lusting after this fabric for some pillows for my sofa! I love it! I have been using the Kona Espresso in quilts for my boys' room, and I think it's gorgeous. So rich yummy looking!
I really love the Kona Cactus and also the Kona Ash.
I love the Ice Frappe and that cushion is fabulous, gorgeous fabrics!
I love the chartreuse!
Hmmm...would it be Tomato Kona Cotton or Artichoke Kona Cotton??? I guess it would depend on the project! :-) Thanks for a chance to wine some awesome fabric!!
My fave is the Chartreuse!! Love!! Thanks for the giveaway too.
Pomegranate!! I've ordered from marmalade and I can attest to her excellent customer service (and nice packaging!).
Papaya! I'm digging on the warm colors lately...Thanks for the giveaway!
If I must pick one, for tonight it is Paprika.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway, and for the introduction to a great shop.
Love the Dark Violet - gorgeous shade! Thanks for the chance to win.

I didn't think it was fair to only pick one. I love all of the colors, but crocus was one of my top choices. It's so pretty.
I just love the mango! Been in a real orange-y mood lately for some reason. Even bought some coral colored flowers earlier this week!
Thanks for the giveaway...and lovin' Marmalades website!
Kona Coal is my go to color. Thanks for the link, I just ordered 2 fat quarter bundles! I look forward to more shopping in the future.
Oooo... sooo many to pick from :) What a great selection! I love the pomegranate and the tomato. :) Such beautiful shades!
Thank you so much for the chance!
I love green, so my absolute favorite right now is grass green. My current go-to neutral is coal-love gray as a neutral!
I love azure, turquoise, and tangerine. There are so many great colors!
Maybe it has to do with the cold weather but I'm liking the Chartreuse right now (it looks so fresh and not dreary)...normally I would probably say something more along the lines of Crocus is my favorite. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm a big fan of the aqua Kona. I've been using it a lot this week for a little boys quilt and I"m in love with it!
Beautiful fabrics. I like the Zucchini Kona Cotton.
Greens seem to be hard for me to find, so I'm picking the Artichoke Kona!
What an impressive selection of colour Kona solids offers. Spearmint is my favourite, such a happy colour. I'd love to win some of Ty's beautiful fabrics. Thanks for the chance.
I love color, but honestly, my favorite is e Kona White. I've embroidered some of my favorite pieces on it :)
Marmalade stock some beautiful fabrics!
They have a great selection of Kona solids and one of my favourites would have to be Lagoon.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this scrummy giveaway :)
There are some gorgeous colours in the bunch, but that chartreuse is such a happy Spring colour!
Thanks for doing another giveaway.
This was so hard! I love azure and chartreuse, but I love azure more!

susie.galasso@gmail.com
I am not that into solids, but I have always loved red, so the Rich Red by Kona will be my choice!
I think it would have been easier to post the colors I didn't like. So many beautiful colors to choose from, I picked the blueberry. Think it would make a great background color. Appreciate the giveaway. nanasew at gmail dot com
The colors are beautiful. I can't name a favorite though but the ones that really stood out to me was the cayenne and the cactus.
Love the chartreuse! Thanks for the opoprtunity!
AQUA---I just totally dig that colour.
the chartreuse is amazing! :) and its just fun to say :) ha ha!! what a great giveaway!
I use lots of Kona Cotton. I really would like to try the Cayenne. What a great giveaway.
I would have to say that Sky Kona Cotton is my favorite - it's just dreamy!
I am so excited that I found you - I think the next blog button? Thank you for sharing one of your fav shops. I am excited to order! AND I cant pick just one solid!!! I LOVE them all!
love the pomegranate and the dark violet!
Loving ash....and the giveaway fabric...
I love kona solids
I think I'm going to have to go with the Jade Green. I'm really drawn to blues and turquoises at the moment, as I love the way they liven up a space.
These might not be the most exciting Kona colors, but these are the colors I buy over and over and over again: White, Snow, Ash, Coal, Black and Stone. And Guess What? Marmalade has every single one of them! Thanks for introducing me to a new store! I'll be needed to stock up on my basic colors again soon, and need a few of the brighter ones for a couple new projects!
Lake Kona cottons is my favorite. What a pretty blue.
What a lovely store. For the solids that are fav I guess I would choose Dark violet and rich red. Oh the things I don't have in my stash. Le'sigh
I love the Ice Frappe colour! It matches my latest quilting exactly.
Aqua Kona Cotton is my favorite today!
I had a hard time deciding on a favorite, but I do love the Chocolate. I really do love most browns.
This I my favorite colours for our livingroom, I will cross my fingers...
Greetings
Yvonne
I would have to pick the Crocus Kona Coton because it looks like spring, which I am really looking forward to right about now! Thank you for telling me about such an awesome shop, too.
Ooh what a yummy selection, i love the buttercup :) i'm really loving yellow right now, nice and bright after a dark grey winter!
My favorite has always been White or Snow, because I love the way it can set off different prints. But when I went to the Marmalade site I was really taken by the Aqua!
Oh its so hard to chose one.
at this very moment its Ash.
Who knows what it will be tomorrow..
That Coal is my favorite! Because it will work perfectly with that fabric when i win it! Wishful thinking!!
