August Culcita Box Unboxing - Lagoon

The August Culcita Box contained Rashida Coleman Hale's new collection, Lagoon.August Culcita Box Unboxing
I had several things-that-had-to-get-done last week and was waiting to open the box until I finished them up.  It was a great incentive to finish up some things around the house.

Those blues and teals are really lovely and there is a little lemur peeking through the pink/purple fabric.

I have the fabric already cut and ready to be sewn up, now I just need to decide if I want to splurge on some of this for the backing fabric.

blogger bundles

If you haven't already checked it out, Alyce over at Blossom Heart Quilts is hosting a blogger bundle competition with Randi at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics .  I think these kinds of competitions are SO MUCH FUN.  As much as I enjoy all aspects (or at least most aspects) of making a quilt, picking out fabrics is definitely the best part. I wanted to make a mosaic using some of my favorite prints right now.  I knew that I wanted to use the Cosmo Cricket text print ; I love that it has all of these positive words and phrases and it is such a pretty shade of pink.  I also wanted to use an Oh Deer print (because it is so cute!), this Madrona Road print (which I love but I haven't been able to justify buying), and then some coordinating prints and a  solid .

These are 60 degree chevrons and I quilted it with a random 60 degree grid.   I was happy to find this Katarina Roccella print in my stash for the backing and I used more of the black triangle print for the binding.  I stitched the binding down with Perle cotton. This quilt is now listed in my Etsy s...
