my kids' quilts

Since I just started this blog a few months ago and I have been quilting for a couple of years, there are several quilts that I have not yet blogged about. I am still in the middle of finishing up the kaleidoscope quilt and I won't be ready to share that for a few days, I thought I would share a couple of the quilts that are in my kids' room.

My 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son share a room.  My son is in a crib-converted-to-toddler bed so I haven't made him a twin sized quilt yet.  Right now he is using this quilt that I made for his first birthday using Pooches and Pickups from Laurie Wisbrun.  I really love these fabrics and I think they are perfect for a little boy.
My daughter has 2 twin sized quilts that she switches between.  This one was inspired by this Denyse Schmidt quilt.
I am debating whether or not to make coordinating quilts for them using Out to Sea from Sarah Jane when it is released.  I am not sure how much longer these two will be sharing a room, but I am totally in love with that beautiful fabric!

    What a great boy quilt. It's often hard to find fabrics that are perfect for a boy, and I love that the centers appear to be solid. :) And those pink vertical stripes on your daughter's quilt are so fun. Reminds me of racing stripes.

    I vote a big yes to coordinating quilts. You've got so many color options with that fabric!

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...
