171. I’ve always loved mint, can’t wait to see all the beautiful quilts!

172. Oh this color is gorgeous! I love the sew along pattern with the log cabin blocks and the petit four quilts in these colors are so beautiful. There is also a pattern in the Red & White Quilts II book by Jessica Dayon “Fireworks” that would be stunning with this fabric. I would have a hard time choosing between these three but one of them would be my selection to make with this color.

173. I’m thinking about making a nice springtime Irish chain with the mint julep, as well as the succulent pattern with the purples.

174. I will be using mint Julep in one of the many sew alongs in 2024. Or, have been wanting to make a Hunter’s Star quilt in red and white, I can see this in Julep and white.

175. Beautiful color! I would like to make a sea-glass themed baby quilt with it!

176. I ordered two yards of it to see if it will look good with fabrics I have picked out for a pattern I love by Jeni Baker. I want to make her quilt using a fat quarter of the new Corey Yoder line coming out in spring/summer that has all of the bright colors, stripes, dots, etc. not certain it will work for that quilt, so might do your sew along, I just know I’m going to use it in an upcoming project, as it is a great color of the year.

177. Gorgeous color this year! Would love to make a beach quilt using Kona Mint Julep.

     1. I would like to make a pink and julep churn dash quilt!

178. This is the most beautiful shade of green. It will make a lovely star quilt.

179. I’m thinking this would be a beautiful background in place of white or cream. I think I’d like to try a scrappy quilt with this as the background.

180. I plan to add the color of the year to a quilt for my great grand daughter!

181. I think Julep would make a sweet background for pastels in a baby quilt.

192. I really love the new color!!! I have a few quilt designs that I plan to work on in the coming year….now, a couple will be re-worked to include this beautiful color!! Especially one I have planned for my daughter. She loves purple and I think this soft green color would work fabulously with the purple I have in mind!!

193. Please, please, oh please! This is

205. This color is beautiful! I plan on making the Mint Julep.

206. I am so glad you shared the Kona Color of the Year 2024, Julep. Such a sweet, refreshing color and just love it. I make children’s quilts for Children’s Cancer Network fundraising events. Julep would be an excellent choice to include in my next quilt project. Any child would love to receive such a pleasingly fresh gift.

207. These patterns are beautiful and I love this color.

249. I’m usually not a fan of green, but the Kona Julip color of the year for 2024 is absolutely stunning. I’ve downloaded the free patterns-Thank you so much for giving us the Robert Kaufman patterns from your FQS. You are so generous to us. I’m going to make the Duality pattern. I hope I win.

272. I love this color so much that my family room walls are painted this color – okay, maybe a little lighter.
