WIP Wednesday

I have several projects planned for the next few months.  While I like having the freedom to work on new projects, I can't help but mentally pile up projects a couple of months in advance.
I am currently working on a super secret project that I can't reveal until it has been gifted so here is a sneak peak.  I just started working on the binding so it should be finished in a couple of days.

My other planned projects:

  • I am planning on pretty much following along with the Totally Groovy QAL.  I am making it for someone pretty far in advance so there's no hurry.  I have my fabrics picked out and I am hoping to start cutting fabric this weekend.
  • Quilt for my sister Kelly (and Kelly if you are reading this blog you better stop so your surprise isn't ruined!).  Last year my sister Carly graduated from high school and I made her this hopscotch quilt.  Kelly is graduating this year and I am planning on making one for her too.  
  • Quilt for my bed.  I am planning on using my stash of Lotta Jansdotter's Echo and my preordered Bella fabrics to make a queen size Single Girl quilt.  I missed out on the QAL, but the flickr group has really inspired to make this one for my bed.  I am planning on doing this a little at a time.

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 quilting to be too dense since the fabrics are i
