About This Design

The Just Kisses Kona Color Card Quilt is a free downloadable PDF pattern designed by Ariga Mahmoudlou for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. The finished quilt measures an impressive 80" x 84", making it a generous throw or bed quilt suitable for everyday use. This is an intermediate-level quilting project that showcases the iconic Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton solid fabric line alongside coordinating charm packs, creating a visually striking color-story composition.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a large patchwork quilt in the blankets and throws category. The design is built around a playful, kiss-inspired motif that celebrates the breadth of the Kona Cotton color palette. The quilt is structured to highlight color relationships across multiple curated colorways, making it an excellent showcase piece for Robert Kaufman's renowned solid cotton fabrics. At 80" x 84", it is large enough to serve as a full bed covering or a statement throw.

Colorways and Fabric Selection

One of the most distinctive features of this pattern is its use of multiple Robert Kaufman Colorstory Charm Packs, each representing a different curated palette. The design incorporates the following charm packs and solid fabrics:

• Neutral Colorstory Charm Pack – SKU CHS-695-85
• Pastel Colorway Charm Pack – SKU CHS-851-42
• New Colorstory Charm Pack – SKU CHS-692-85
• Bright Colorstory Charm Pack – SKU CHS-693-85 and CHS-694-85
• Dark Colorstory Charm Pack – SKU CHS-694-85
• Kona Cotton White (Color A) – SKU K001-1387, requiring 3-3/4 yards, used as the primary background solid
• Kona Cotton Grizzly – SKU K001-1844, requiring 3/4 yard, used for binding

All fabric amounts are based on a width of fabric (WOF) of at least 42". An additional 7-1/2 yards of backing fabric is required to complete the quilt. The combination of crisp Kona Cotton White as a background with the vibrant, multi-toned charm pack squares creates a dynamic interplay of color that is central to the design's appeal.

Techniques Used

This is a patchwork quilting project that draws on several foundational and intermediate quilting techniques. Quilters working on this pattern will employ:

• Charm pack piecing – working with pre-cut 5" squares from multiple Colorstory Charm Packs, which streamlines cutting and ensures color consistency
• Precise patchwork piecing – assembling blocks with consistent 1/4" seam allowances throughout, which is standard practice in quilting and essential for accurate block alignment
• Seam pressing – all seam allowances are pressed open unless otherwise noted, a technique that reduces bulk and helps blocks lie flat for a professional finish
• Quilt sandwich assembly – layering the quilt top, batting, and backing fabric before quilting
• Binding application – finishing the quilt edges with Kona Cotton Grizzly binding fabric for a clean, polished border

The use of charm packs makes this pattern particularly accessible for intermediate quilters who want to explore color theory and fabric coordination without the time investment of cutting hundreds of individual squares from yardage.

Stitches and Sewing Details

As a quilting pattern, the primary construction method relies on straight-stitch machine sewing with a consistent 1/4" seam allowance. This seam width is the quilting industry standard and is critical to achieving the correct finished block and quilt dimensions.
