a couple things

I spent the last few days getting pretty much nothing accomplished, but I did want to mention two things.

1.  I was very excited, and to be honest completely shocked, that my Sundown Quilt is a Viewers Choice Finalist in the Blogger's Quilt Festival.  If you could take a moment and stop by here to vote for your favorite, I am sure that all of the nominees would be very grateful :)
Sundown - 2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge

2.  A quilt that I made for the Robert Kaufman booth at Quilt Market will have a free pattern available on their website soon.  I can't take any credit for the design since Nichole from Robert Kaufman sent me an image of what they wanted for the booth and I just picked the fabrics, made the quilt top, and wrote up the directions.  It is a very quick quilt and uses some of Ann Kelle's beautiful new prints.  
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and hopefully I will have something new to show you soon :)

    Congrats! That second quilt was one of the ones from Market that I really wanted to make. Great work! Even if you didn't come up with the idea you picked awesome fabric and writing directions is no easy task.

    I wasn't surprised at all your quilt was a "viewer's choice" favorite - it's definitely a favorite of mine!

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...
