Q1 Finish-A-Long

Wow, this year already feels like it is flying by. I had fairly modest goals for Q1 because I like to have some freedom for random projects and because I really didn't have that many WIPs to finish up. So even though my goals weren't super ambitious it was good to have a reason to make sure that they all got completely finished up.
1.  I really enjoyed finishing my + and x quilt.  I just love all of the colors and craziness, not to mention that this has been sitting around longer than any other project I had started.

This quilt is listed in my etsy shop.  

2.I also finished my Scrappy Trip Along quilt.  This one is going to my nephew later this year.  I had fun using up some scraps and enjoyed the challenge of making a quilt without pink or purple.

3.  I also finished up our November quilt for the Wish Circle of Do Good Stitches.  Which is good since May is my month again to be quilter and that is going to be here before I know it :)

I recently added a tab up at the top of the page with my finished quilts so if you want to see all 8 of my finished quilts this year, you can click here. 

I am looking forward to setting some new goals for Q2 and am looking forward to spending some time this week reading all about what everyone else has been able to accomplish.

    Coming in from Leanne's FAL--
    Terrific finishes, all of them! I love the Cross-X blocks and the way you quilted it. It looks great. And the do.Good.Stitches quilt is is a fabulous design, all woven together.

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...
