wip wednesday

1.  It turns out that those Scrappy Trip Along blocks are really addictive.  Instead of basting and starting the quilting on my Simply Woven Quilt, I made 10 more scrappy blocks.

I am trying to decide if I want to make it 60"x60" or 60"x72".  Either way, I still have more blocks to make.  Yay!

2.  I need to figure out a backing for this quilt and then get it basted.  Hopefully that will happen tomorrow.

Right now I need to get back to cleaning my house.  I have some friends coming over tonight and they might think it's weird if there are little pieces of fabric and thread all over the place!

    I'd say go with the bigger quilt. I often find that quilts ends up just a bit on the small side so I try to resist stopping early and go for it. It'll be worth it!

    I love zig-zag layout of your scrappy quilt! I would make it 60" x 72" but that's because I'm not a fan of square quilts. :)

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...
