Bloggers Quilt Festival - Sundown Quilt

Welcome!  I hope you are having lots of fun checking out all of the entries into the Festival.  It is such a great way to find new friends.  
Sundown - 2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge
My second entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival is a quilt that I made for the Radiant Orchid Pantone Quilt Challenge a couple months ago.  I love purple but even more than that I love how purple looks with other colors.
Sundown Quilt
I quilted this one with straight lines and used a double layer of batting to make the quilt nice and squishy.

    I really love this. I'm a big purple fan and you've chosen a great mix of colours to add in with the purples for a really stunning effect.

    OMG!! Just love those colors and the pattern is wonderful. I know I sound excited about such a simple thing as a triangle quilt, but you see.....I haven't made one yet and it's the next thing on my list .
    Awesome job!
    Have a terrific weekend!

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.
