lucky stars and bee blocks

I spent some time catching up on bee blocks yesterday.  First I did my ninja star for the Lucky Stars BOM.  This is the first time I have ever done foundation pieced triangles, but they came together pretty easily.  I love that gray posie FMF fabric so much.

And here it is with the January and February blocks.

I also did my March blocks for the Wish Circle of Do Good Stitches.  Sonya chose a wonky star block with orange/coral, aqua, and lime and she wanted one with a light tan background and one with a light gray.  This was the only tan fabric I had so hopefully it is light enough.

This was a good block since I am planning on making a wonky star baby quilt in the very near future. 

We've had some gorgeous finishes (and almost finishes) in our circle over the last few weeks, check these out if you haven't already seen them!

    oh I do love my own Lucky Stars, but after that . . . YOURS are my fav. I just love your palette & mix of fabrics! And you going to do the 'practice' block too? I think it's a pretty awesome one too!

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...
