do. Good Stitches June quilt

The winner of the Groove quilt-a-long pattern is . . .
Congratulations WandaM!  I will send you an email so that I can get the pattern to you.

I had some time to put together our very first quilt top from the Wish circle at do. Good Stitches.
This is the first time I have ever sewn with blocks that someone else made and it was kind of weird.  The quilt is a little bit crazy, but I think it's cute.  I am hoping to get it basted tonight so I can get the quilt finished.  I am so glad that I was able to get involved in this group, it is really fun!

    It's TOTALLY cute, and really has the illusion of curved piecing. Love it!

    This is beautiful! I live the interplay of warm and cool colours. And that perfect randomness you only get from bee blocks.

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...
