I am a broken record here. I know Kona is different fabric/quality. I don't care what the manufacture says. My results are from only a few colors, bought one - looked at many kona colors at a well known quilt shop. I had to have the color or I would not have touched it. Thin and coarse. I do love Moda Bella and if the quality changes I'll be searching for something to replace it, but for now I don't think it can be beat.
