Awesome quilt. I too love that piano key border. Hmmm, I haven't had trouble with Kona but I am a prewasher so I wonder if the prewashing shrinks it up a bit and tightens that weave? I found the Kona to be less reavely than Moda Bella Solids. I think it has a slightly heavier hand too but I use them both interchangebly.
