Kona Cotton solid fabrics have become immensely popular amongst quilters and crafters, and why not? With 220 colors (yes, the color card says 221, but Bayou is no longer available) and excellent quality, there's a color (or lots of colors) for every project imaginable. But what happens when you have a stash of Kona Cotton and it looks like this:
...and you love one of the colors (well, you love all of them, but, just for the sake of this example, we'll choose one), say this one:
...and you want/need/must-have more and you, like me, wish you could remember the name of the color so you can click on over to Blueberry Buckle to order more?
It would so help to have one of these:
...don't you think?
Better yet, how about one on every piece in your stash:
And wouldn't it be even more convenient the fabric just came that way?
Well, it does...at Blueberry Buckle. I now label every piece of Kona Cotton that leaves the studio. I've gotten great feedback from buyers. What do you think? Would labels be helpful to you? Let me know!
Happy Kona collecting!

Those labels are brilliant. I've often lamented the lack of printed selvages of solids for just this reason.

Sue, I love those labels! I was just thinking yesterday that I really have to put together a basic collection of Kona solids and had decided not to as I cannot get my hands on the swatch card (which Kaufman is sold out of indefinitely....aarrrghhhh!). But the labels would let me start collecting without getting all confooozed!
