WIP Wednesday

I took a little break from WIP Wednesday for a few weeks because of all of the holiday craziness.  But I have managed to finish some things up this week and I have a few Christmas gifts in progress.
Finished projects:
  • Mini perfect quilted tote.  Last week I made some of Elizabeth's totes for my daughter's preschool teachers, and I enjoyed them so much I wanted to make some for my kids for Christmas.  I shrunk the dimensions in the pattern down 25% and I am really happy with how it turned out.  I will post more about this once I have my daughter's bag finished up.

  • December bee blocks.  Alyssa asked that we make some paper pieced blocks using this tutorial. These were pretty easy and lots of fun to make and a good learning experience.  And I love working with pink!

Works in Progress

  • Mini perfect quilted tote for my daughter.  She is really into princesses and the color green right now, so I think I will go this direction.
  • Miscellaneous Christmas presents that I have hardly started.  Oops.
Future projects
  • I can't even think about this until after Christmas.  I know I have a couple of baby quilts to make and a couple of fun projects I want to get started on.

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...
