Our local quilt guild uses Kona snow (which we call "Club Cream") as our signature fabric. It's used in our "thinking of you" and "going away" blocks and occasionally in guild challenges.
I've used Kona solids for over 20 years and have always loved them for their dense saturation of color, particularly the black - which I call a "patent leather black" because it has a slight shine and is soooo black. I love it! I don't do much applique, though, and suspect if might be a bit "sturdy" as Bearisgray mentioned.
I buy mine from Hancocks of Paducah.
This quilt used Kona as the background and the colors are much more pronounced than the photo shows.
