What's the best black cotton fabric?

Hi Susie,

Yes, Kona Bay Fabrics/Seattle Bay Fabrics is a manufacturer of Kona cottons, etc. Here is their web site out of Seattle:

http://www.konabay.com/

You can find more out about them there if you wish.

If anyone is interested, www.quiltingbeeaz.com has their black on sale for $4 a yard. I just bought 5 yards!

Happy quilting,

Karla

Hi Cathy,

Well, you're a serious commercial for Kona, lol. Don't know what you paid for the bolt, but I just checked knitnoid's link, and their's is as low as $1.30 a yard when purchased in a 31 HALF-yard lot. Not bad at all!

Sure glad I asked this question.

Thanks,

Karla

Kaufman Kona and Micheal Miller Black are my favs, Amie )

It's very very hard to sew black fabric with black thread when it's black outside. ! And even though I used the black batting, bearding was a major problem. You can wear out a lint brush fast. I doubt I attempt another quilt using black fabric for a very long time. Now that said, the blackest black is from the Amish:

Here it is! Our world famous black Amish fabric.
Amish quilts are often characterized by a deep black that frames and highlights. To achieve the effect, you'll need this hard-to-find rich black solid.
