WIP Wednesday

Well the big finish for this past week was my queen size wonky cross quilt.  I have been working on this on and off for several weeks and you are probably sick of seeing it by now, but it is now complete!

I also made this Christmas tree table runner for my parents.  It is in the mail and should be arriving at their house today.

And guess what . . . that completed all of my current WIPs!  So of course I had to start 3 more.  

My current WIPs:
  • Habitat quilt.  This is going to be a twin sized quilt for my little sister as a high school graduation present and I am finally cutting into my precious Habitat stash so she better like it!

  • Quilt for my son.  I pulled some fabric this week and decided to use Ed Emberley's Happy Drawing fabrics.  I only have a few of the prints, so I ordered a couple more and I am waiting for those to get here before I start cutting into the fabric.  I will probably narrow this down before I make the quilt, but this is what is currently on the table.

  • Echo/Bella quilt for my bed.  Ok, I did start this one last week, but I am just working on cutting the squares here and there since it is low on the priority list.  I have cut most of my Echo stash and will be starting on Bella this week.  They are so pretty, I really enjoy handling them.  
Things that I need to get started:
  • November is my month for Do Good Stitches.  I saw this last night and I think we might give it a try!
  • Remaining Christmas gifts.  I'm not sure what I'm going to make yet, but I better figure it out!

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...
