out to sea baby quilt

We were very excited that my cozy posy triangle quilt returned home from QuiltCon yesterday.  This morning my daughter saw it sitting on the couch and ran right up and snuggled under it.
Moda included a bag of notions in the box.  It is so fun to get little treats like this, I especially love these cute little embroidery scissors.  They make such a satisfying "snip" sound.
This tag was still attached to the quilt.  It was pretty thrilling to see my name on the tag, I'm definitely keeping this :)
The last few days I have been working on another baby quilt (well, one of the days I added another row to my Maple Leaf Rag quilt, but I didn't get a photo).  My sister is expecting her third child next month and we are going to see her when we head to Utah for spring break so I need to get this finished up soon.

I pinned this quilt a while back and thought I would try out this design with Sarah Jane's Out to Sea fabric.  

And lastly, everyone has been talking about the end of Google Reader.  I have been trying out both Feedly and Bloglovin.  I think I prefer Feedly, but I am giving Bloglovin a try since it seems to be a popular choice.

    I saw your posy quilt on quite a few photos from quiltcon! How fun to get extra goodies and the fun little tag for a memory. The stars quilt will be really cute with that fabric. I'm doing bloglovin because it seems like everyone's doing it and I guess I'm just a follower....haha

    The satisfying scissor sound really does add to the enjoyment, doesn't it? I love hearing my Gingher shears when they're nice and sharp.

    I tried Bloglovin but deleted it again because I couldn't find a way to read the full post in a single window, and I usually get around 75-80 articles a day (I follow too many blogs!) so it isn't practical to click through on them all. Does Feedly have that as an option, or can anyone tell me which one would do the trick?

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...
