Today’s Kona Cotton color of the day is Stone. Stone is a medium color brown with taupe-y undertones. It’s not light, it’s not dark, but is somewhere in the middle.
A few days ago, I talked about a trip when I was a little child to visit my grandmother and we had gone to Lake Champlain in upper New York State. Well, I remember on that same trip that we had crossed over into Vermont and had gone to a stone quarry where we saw slate and other things.
We happen to have a stone fireplace in our living room and it looks kind of similar to what’s in the picture, but not as dark. I have always been fascinated by stones… stones in ponds, stone walkways, stone patios. It has always interested me. Google happens to list 17 types of natural stone.
They are:
- Sedimentary Rock
- Metamorphic Rock
- Granite
- Limestone
- Sandstone
- Marble
- Slate
- Quartzite
- Basalt
- Quartz
- Travertine
- Soapstone
- Onyx
- Flagstone
- Serpentinite
- Flint

This quilt pattern blends stone with sea glass, petunia, candy green, lingerie, doeskin, prairie sky, ash, ice frappe, roasted pecan, spa blue, dusty peach and more. I love how the arrows in the pattern draw your eyes up. Don’t look down at your feet or the stone beneath, look up and see a quilt project ready to go!
