Curves Class week 1

Week 1 of the Curves Class is over and I was able to pretty much complete all of the projects (I couldn't find a snap for my baby bib).  I am really happy with my pillow, flawed though it may be.
I have been working on my Aunt Edna Swoon quilt and I had a few leftover squares that were just the right size so those prints were my starting point for picking fabrics.  I also wanted the colors to be more "husband friendly" since for some reason he doesn't share my love of pink, orange, and aqua.  

I don't have a home for this bib yet so it will go into the future-baby-shower-gift box in my closet.  
My Heirloom greek cross quilt found a home this week.  While I love the fabrics and I love all of the straight line quilting, this quilt didn't feel at home in my living room and I knew I should hold onto it and wait until the right person came to mind.  I ended up giving it to my visiting teacher who is completely wonderful.

What Shade Are You? Blog Hop & Giveaway

A few weeks ago RJR Fabrics contacted me to see if I was interested with working on a project using their solids.  I checked out their colors and was pretty smitten so I said yes. And they exceeded my expectations.  I mixed them in with some of the prints from Rashida Coleman Hale's new Mochi collection .  Since Cotton + Steel is actually a division of RJR fabrics, the RJR solids coordinate perfectly with the collections. The RJR Cotton Supreme Solids have a great selection of pinks (I think good pinks are the hardest to find) and my favorite is actually the neutral-y brown Driftwood color that I used for the binding.  It might not be cool to love brown, but I do, and Driftwood (color 297) will be filling a void in my stash.   The quilt looks more complicated than it actually is: each of the diamonds is made up of 2 triangles (so there are no y-seams) and I cut the fabric with my  favorite triangle ruler .      I didn't want the quiltin...
