Yes, I have located the color in Kona, but I really wanted the background of this quilt to have some texture since the applique is absolutely plain white. Maybe if I thought about it more and planned better, I might have bought the Kona for the background and found a textured white for the applique, but I already bought the Kona. If I don't find a texture in the color, I might just put the white Kona aside for something else, and buy the Kona background in the Aqua/turquoise I like and buy a tonal white for the applique. I would still want the white to be thick enough for the background not to show thru. I HATE making these decisions. This quilt HAS to be a show-stopper-and after putting that much work into it, I don't want to be dissappointed. Thanks!
