Bella Bella!

The ever growing collection of Moda Bella Solids in the store.
I LOVE Bella Solids!
I would love to make a quilt completely (or mostly) out of solids.

  1. Wow, those solids are gorgeous! I think I might have to have some. A quilt with just those solids would be fun to make.

  6. Yummy colours!! Are they comparible with Kona Cottons?

    I’ve always loved solids, but I felt like a black sheep in quiltland!

  8. I just ordered some of the Bella solids today. I hope to use them in a quilt that has been started with the Kona solids (actually would have bought Kona had I found a store that carried them as well as other materials I was looking for). How do you think the Bella's compare to the Kona's in terms of weave and weight? Will I detect a difference?

  9. I often view quilts as textile color studies, so quilts done in solids always thrill me just a little bit. Plus, I think they are more timeless, for what THAT'S worth. Anyway, best of luck and thanks for the gorgeous photos.

    Would the white Bella Solid work for the Geese in the Forest blocks?

  12. Good luck with the driving test. In Oz the new drivers have to display the letter 'P' on the car to indicate probationary status with stricter rules. This lasts for two years, then they're considered full drivers.

  17. Hope the test went well! I have been eyeing those Bella solids for awhile. I'm curious-- do they fray less than the Kona at all?

  18. I'm not a big solids person, but I happen to be in the market for some blue right now. I will get them from you! I was going to ask how they compare to Kona, as i've heard Kona mentioned on many blogs, but other commenters have already answered that. Thanks!
