Another WIP Wednesday

Currently in Progress: 

Forgive the Instagram photo.  I finished the last blocks for the queen size, wonky cross block quilt for my sister-in-law last night.  This one is for a Christmas gift but I would like to get it finished before the Holidays get crazy.

I also started the Remix quilt for my daughter that I mentioned in my last post.
remix flying geese
Need to get started:
  • Halloween candy buckets for my kids
  • Halloween costume for my son.  My daughter has requested to be Rapunzel and she already has a perfectly good dress already, so I just have one costume to make. 
  • Graduation quilt for my sister.  She is graduating from high school early so I need to get started soon-ish.  I am considering ditching my original plans and hopping on board with the spinning stars QAL.
My goals for next week: 
  • get the wonky cross quilt top pieced and possibly basted and possibly start quilting, I have such a hard time working up the energy to baste a quilt that big
  • make a few more flying geese
  • get materials for Halloween candy buckets

    Love the wonky cross quilt--that one is on my very long to do list. And I'm glad I'm not the only thinking about Halloween costume already!

    Beautiful wonky cross quilt! I too don't like basting big quilts - I will have to come up with some kind of incentive program to help get it done! Your remix quilt will be so fun when it's done, can't wait to see.

    I love the wonky crosses. You should have no trouble finishing that before holiday craziness.

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...
