Blogger's Quilt Festival - Mini Swoon Quilt

Welcome!  I can't believe it is already time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival again.  I am so excited to see the other quilts that are entered.

For the second entry into the festival I wanted a share a quilt I made for a friend's new baby girl.  I love Camille Roskelley's Swoon Pattern and when she released a mini version of the pattern, I knew I wanted to make it into a baby quilt.

I loved working with Sarah Jane's Wee Wander collection.  It is adorable, and the print that I used for the back of the quilt is my favorite.

Finished quilt size: 40" x 50"

    That is so adorable! What a great idea to turn Mini Swoon into a baby quilt (and I think the fabric choice is perfection). I love this!

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.
