PTS Round 9

A few days ago I received the most perfect pillow in the mail from Lindsay.  It had been one of my favorites from the group and I am so happy that it is mine now!  Lindsay did a wonderful job combining my love of triangles with some of my favorite colors and fabrics.

I have been trying to get a photo of the pillow for the last couple of days, but it has been unusually gloomy in LA.  And since my apartment tends to be dark to begin with, it has been impossible to get a photo of the pillow in its new home.  So I had to employ the use of my little assistant and the light on our very ugly balcony.
PTS round 9 received!
And as much as I love the front, the combination of the front with the fabric on the back is just inspired.  And the zipper is pretty much my favorite color in the whole world.

Lindsay also included some pretty extra fabric in the package and she made her own pillow form since the size of the cover was a little rectangular.
pretty goodies!
I love, love, love this swap and I am so glad that I was able to participate in this round.  I would love to do it again!

I mailed my pillow to my partner Kristy a little while ago.  I love that this swap pushed me to try something new!

    I'm so glad I got to make you this pillow! I've had fun stalking your blog and "getting to know you" as in most swaps, but this also pushed me to try something new. :) Thanks for getting your own pillow done a little early--it gave me some great inspiration for what types of fabrics and quilting you like!

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...
