My quilt was inspired by an image of an art installation of hanging origami cubes. I love how the light hits them and how it illuminates different angles of each cube, as they twist and face different directions. I tried to create the illusion of depth with specific color placement in each paper pieced block.
I used 20 different Kona solids. Aren't they gorgeous?

All the quilts in the look book are stunning–yours is one of my favorites.
I like so many of the colors, but one of my favorites is Ice Frappe. Thanks so much for the giveaway, and the Blog Hop. Have a great day! (dawnm1993 at gmail dot com)
This book looks awesome. My favorite Kona colors are all on the blues (blue is my favorite color). Thanks!

I love your quilt, and Carolyn's too. How does one pick a favourite, I especially love all the aquas.
Love the quilt. My favorite Kona color is Cerise.
Beautiful quilt. Love the new Kona color collection. 24Tangent@gmail.com
Wonderful quilt; I LOVE paper piecing and this one is going on my "must make" list. All the Kona colors (new and old) are beautiful and the use of the gray background in your quilt makes them all pop. The pinks and purples are absolutely luscious! Pomegranate is especially eye-catching.
I love the effect you have created. Am off to download the pattern now :)
Wow, I love your quilt! It's hard to pick just one favorite Kona color, but Robin Egg is one I like a lot.
I love Pomegranate! Beautiful quilt, love that you also shared your inspiration photo.
Right now my favourite is wasabi, but its hard to choose. thanks for the chance.
I love all the greys! Thanks for the chance to win! Krmeyer@gmail.com
Greys and black are my dramatic colors but I love yellows and oranges! Mumbird3atgmail.com
Kona is the best! I love papaya and all of the oranges, blues, greens, teals....in other words ALL Konas!
I love your quilt!!! Thank you for sharing the pattern!!!
I don't have a fave Kona color...I love so many
I like Bone right now. It sets every other colour off so beautifully.
My quilts are so varied that I don't have a regular color. But there is a perfect Kona color for every one.
I love your quilt! My favorite Kona color is also silver. Love all their grays.
Love your quilt. I love all the different Kona cotton colors. Today, I love Cerise.
Love this quilt!!! I love quilting with Konas!! My favorite is Pepper...and Watermelon...and Ice Frappe....and ALL OF THEM
This is beautiful! I love all Kona solids. Thanks to you and Robert Kaufman for sharing the pattern and for the chance to win ... :) Pat
What a great quilt - thanks for the link!!
I like Sprout
This has been such a fun blog hop. There are so many beautiful colors, can you really only pick one favorite? Thanks!
This has been such a fun blog hop. There are so many beautiful colors, can you really only pick one favorite? Thanks!
I'm still a newbie with solids and just getting to know the Robert Kaufman colors. I don't know the name, but I really like the cheddary orange. :)
love their solids, thanks
Beautiful quilt!! Love Kona solids, the colours are rich and vibrant. My favorite colour is Sangria.
This is going to be a fun month. I sorta like the cobblestone and Jamaica together. thanks
You certainly proved that inspiration can come from anywhere - beautiful quilt. My favorite Kona color is Aqua.
I like Honeysuckle a whole lot.
I really like your origami cubes quilt. Are you going to write a pattern or tutorial for it?
Thanks for the chance!
I love silver, too. But anything from light creamy yellow to brilliant red-purple just make me melt!
I love your quilt, heading over to Kaufman to get the pattern. Solids are so fun to work with!
Kona solids!!!! Yay!!!!
Renragjd@gmail.com
Navy of course! And I'm so glad it's a free pattern- I need to see the mechanics of how your quilt works out- it's a beauty!
unique paper piecing quilt, I d/l and would try it!
You did a beautiful job on this!
My fav kona color has been Cerise for a really long time, but I haven't seen any of the new colors in person yet, so maybe I will have a new fav!
Love this 3d effect! Now watermelon rules :) betyipiernaty at gmail dot com
All the blues and greens right now are my favorites. Especially the jade and bluegrass.
gigiv13@gmail.com
I can't believe you used some many colors in your quilt. It is amazing!
I really like the Sangria. veeveebug@aol.com
I am enjoying all the quilts. It is inspiring me to do my next SOLIDS quilt!!

I love watermelon. Thanks for the chance to win.
I saw your quilt in the Look Book on another blogger's site and it jumped right out at me. Gorgeous! I love all the Kona blues that look like the ocean and seaglass.
Great design! My fav is medium gray
Sangria. Oolala!
What a beautiful quilt, Alex! I do love all the greys but am liking seafoam lately as well.
LOVE your quilt! This is such a fun hop! :D I cannot pick just one color, too many for that! Happy sewing!
Whenever I shop I always say "I'll take the rest of the bolt" for Breakers and Pomegranate!
I love all of the colors, but watermelon is one of my favorites. I love your quilt!
Your quilt is awesome! I'm partial to pickle!
I love all your colour choices in Floating Prisms! My favourite colour of Kona solids is Medium Grey.
wlinda_ca at yahoo dot com
I love green!!!!
Kona solids have such a range of colours it is hard to pick a favourite. At the moment I am attracted to all the autumn shades...
You did a great job on this quilt. I love it.
Your quilt is gorgeous, really stunning! Love the contrast between the colors and the grey background.
Snap! Mine is silver too. And I love your quilt - I really love the prism / crystalline look in quilts
Gosh, it's hard for me to pick a favorite color, because I always veer over into choosing a favorite color name. Aren't their names spectacular? That's the job I want, choosing Kona names. Or Aurifil names. (Or possibly naming other people's children, because there are some doozies out there...)
Your quilt reminds me of a hot air balloon fest in my area.
Beautiful colors in the sky

Your quilt is lovely. I will be making it at some point. Thanks for being part of the hop. Thanks for the giveaway.

I know I have bought from Kaufman many times but I don't have a favorite. It depends on my mood when I'm shopping or the project I have in mind. When I get home the fabrics may get used in other quilts. Your quilt really sparkles!
I love Kona Cerise and Kona White!
love the 3d effect.
Your quilt is amazing!
I love Kona steel. But all Kona is good!
Love the 3D effect you got on the quilt! So inspiring.
Yea! Thanks for the opportunity to win these beautiful fabrics!

Your quilt is stunning!
Love your quilt. Absolutely Stunning!
Thanks for the chance to win! The colors of your quilt are stunning!
My next stop is Robert Kaufman's site to download your pattern, It is great!!!!
Your quilt is beautiful. Currently my favorite Kona is jade!
I love the combination of colors in your quilt- they really pop!
My favorite Kona is turquoise, but the one I buy the most of is white.
Today my favorite Kona color is Lagoon. Tomorrow it may be a different one. All the colors are yummy! -- soparkaveataoldotcom
Your Floating Prisms quilt is lovely!
My favorite Kona Cotton Solid color fluctuates too much to have a single favorite. I like aquas, blues and reds. Silver is very nice, too.
Have a cuppa, dear Teaginny, and enjoy the coming week!
So many favorites. Tangerine is really nice.
I love your beautifully quilted, joyful quilt! And I love these scrumptious colors. I never used to like solids until I started seeing all the beautiful modern quilts on blogs. Now I'm hooked on solids!
I love all of the colors but if I have to pick just one favorite, I use snow the most and petal second! Thanks for the giveaway, I love the colors!
tdkcarpenoctem@hotmail.com
Love the colors you chose- and subtle shades to make them have such lovely dimension! I like yellow and right now Sunflower is my favorite. Thanks! Sarah: crjandsbj(at)netzero(dot)com
This week my favorite color is Torch. There are way too many beautiful colors to choose just one, so each week, I have a new one. Blog Hops are so much fun and thank you for the giveaway opportunity,
lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
I love Kona! Thank you.
Persimmon is a favorite...works with so many projects. Great quilt....
Oooh... so hard to decide on a favourite. I have to agree with you and say that Silver has been making an appearance in many projects lately, displacing my usual Ash. But I am a sucker for those tropical blues like Caribbean, Breakers, and Robin Egg! :)
I love all the colors and it's hard to pick just 1 favorite. I took my Kona color card to work because it is so pretty. All the ladies enjoyed picking their favorites. They aren't quilters, but they still love the colors. It brightened their day. :-)
As I said on IG, your design is inspired! I love it! Thanks for the chance on this great giveaway. My favorite Kona color is Azure, but I use many others too.
never can pick a fav color, i even love their neutrals lol. great quilt idea btw, i see quilts everywhere i look as well
What a beautiful, beautiful quilt! I am excited that it is a free download! sarah@forrussia.org
I LOVE the Slate color you used in your quilt! It's really great that we get to see exactly what you used!
Love it. Those prisms fairly dance on the quilt. what a beautiful quilt.
Oh, your quilt is just absolutely beautiful! I love everything about it. I love all the Kona colors, but I do have a particular fancy for the Mediterranean. :)
your quilt is really gorgeous! Like Rainbow diamonds falling from the sky! My favorite Kona colour is lime. unfortunatelly it is not that easy to find all these amazing colors in Germany.
I love the bright tones that Kona offers. Can't really pick one favorite.
Thanks so much for the blog hop & the give away. Great job on the fun quilt!

I love all shades of green!
I can't pick just one color. I love them all. I am addicted to the blues, who knows why.
I really love your pattern, my favourite colour is rich red.
I just love your quilt! Those little triangles look like they're hanging down just like the origami ones. This 30 for 30 quilts tour has been so much fun to see what all of you quilters come up with. As far as a favorite color, I can't just pick one...I love them all.
Gorgeous quilt! I buy lots of Kona Pepper!
Glacier is my current favourite, but School Bus is a regular purchase for me. I like Nectarine from the new colours.
Hi and thanks for the giveaway :) I don't know the Kona fabrics, so I don't have a favorite color yet!
I think your origami inspiration is so cool!
It's so hard to pick a favorite color, but I love the blues. (And reds!)
All the shades of purples!! Thank you for the chance.

Lovely quilt. Love all the Konacolours.
joycecym@gmail.com
Right now I am loving Ocean and all the aquas!
Love the modern quilt. any of the purples are my favorite.
I really love the color Spruce. It is so rich and beautiful.
Your quilt is amazing! I love solids so much! Its hard to pick a favorite color ~ so many beautiful Kona colors! I guess I love all grays right now!
I can't pick just one favorite but I love the range of greens, blues, aquas.
my fave kona color is lagoon
My favorite Kona solid are the greys. I like to use them as neutrals and have used two within the past year, one in a batik with black and the other in a T-shirt quilt.
