WIP Wednesday

It has been a rough week over here.  Everyone but my son has had the flu, and this morning I woke up with a migraine on top of that.  Thank goodness for Excedrin migraine.
But because I haven't been able to leave the house in a week, I have made some good progress on my + and x quilt.
+ and x quilt
When I took this photo I had finished 49 blocks, but I finished 7 more last night so I only have 7 left. Once I finish up those blocks I think I will set this one aside for a little while, I am feeling a little drained.  I have a baby quilt to make and I think it would be nice to work on a smaller project for a little bit.

    I love the colour and movement of this quilt. It is going to be quite something when it is finished. Beautiful.

    LOVE THIS! I started one of these a long time ago when they first started popping up on flickr but got as far as making one block and then I just had a million things on my list of things to do. This looks amazing and makes me think I need to pick this one back up.

    Sorry to hear you have been battling the bugs. Your quilt top is looking stunning though! I hear you on wanting a quick small project after something that is a bit of a monster!

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...
