Happy Easter (and a tablerunner)

On Friday I decided I needed an Easter table runner.  Well, I will call it a Spring table runner so that I can get a little more use out of it.  I really need to stop making seasonal things at the last minute.
Easter Table Runner
This is made entirely of half square triangles and is a variation on the Formal Garden block from 500 Quilt Blocks.  This is the first time I have ever used solid white as a binding and I wish it was a more practical choice because I love it.

This time of year helps me to feel hopeful and grateful.  I am so grateful for all of you and the opportunity to share myself and the things that I have made.  Thank you and I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter.

    At least you got it done! And so cute, the colors are perfect for spring. I realized about three days ago I hadn't made anything for Easter, at least I just said "oops"'and vowed to try again next year instead of trying to cram something in like I normally would :)

    Turned out cute. I like white binding too... sigh.

    We host Easter dinner at our house every year. Every year on Easter morning as I'm setting the table I think, "I really should make an Easter table cloth". But when I think it it ahead of time I can always talk myself out of it. There's something about when the holiday is truly imminent...

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...
