Q2 Finish-A-Long - Oops

I would love to report that I had a productive quarter, and I think I did, I just din't finish much on my list.  I have been pretty busy so I am not that bothered by my lack of finishes this quarter, but I would like to get these finished up soon.

1.  Maple Leaf Rag quilt - I spent a couple hours here and there hand quilting this one, but it still has a long way to go.

2. I did finish the Bangles quilt.  Yay for one finish!

3.  My Echo/Bella/Glimma patchwork quilt is still sitting in the back of my closet so that one definitely isn't done.

Linking up with the Finish-A-Long at She Can Quilt.

    That Maple Leaf Rag quilt is stunning, and I love the Bangles one too--the simpler, less experienced little sister of the first one!

    oh. my. gosh. I literally just gasped when I saw your Maple Leaf Rag quilt. It is absolutely stunning! I have never seen a spiderweb quilt that was pieced that way. All of the colors and patters are just a feast for the eyes!

    Love the Maple Leaf Rag (ok, now that music is going to be going through my head all day...). And you're a brave woman to hand quilt it with all those seams!

    Even if it takes awhile keep at it. Every stitch taken today is one less needed to be done tomorrow. You're going to be so proud of that one when it's done!!!

    Stunning! Wow

    Where did you get the template to cut the triangles? What size is it.

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...
