wip wednesday

Completed this week:
  • Pillow Talk Swap pillow.  I am going to have a hard time sending this away :(
PTS round 9
  • Halloween baskets for my kids

halloween buckets
puzzled triangles brrr mini
In progress:
  • Wonky cross quilt.  My original plan was to finish this before working on anything else, but I haven't touched it this week.  Oops.
wonky cross quilt progress
  • Flying geese quilt for my daughter.  I finished piecing the top yesterday and then basted the quilt last night.  Woohoo!  I showed it to my daughter yesterday after I finished the quilt top and she said, "I love it, it's so rainbow-ish."  She had asked for a rainbow quilt so I guess that's a success.

To be started:
  • Do good stitches blocks for October.  We are making these blocks.
  • Scrap quilt.  It has to happen, the scrap bin is overflowing everywhere.  
  • Graduation quilt for my sister.  
I now have 3 swap projects completed that need to be mailed in the upcoming week.  I really enjoyed working on them and will definitely be doing more swaps in the future, but I think I will take a little time to focus on my projects first.  I am going to have family in town this week, but I am hoping to be able to finish my daughter's quilt and my do good stitches blocks so I can get those in the mail.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

    I'd have a tough time giving that pillow away too! There are so many pillows that I'd love to make but I have to stop...we have too many as it is!!

    Your projects are all lovely. I particularly like the dense straight lines on your modern cross quilt.

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...
