A Single Chevron Pillow - Winged Blog Tour

Welcome to day 3 of the Winged blog tour!  There are so many fabric lines out there that have great prints, but when I saw Bonnie Christine's Winged collection I fell in love and had to make something with it immediately.

Bonnie sent me 4 fat quarters from the collection (which I of course forgot to take a picture of) and I knew I wanted to make a pillow.  These are my favorite prints from the collection because they are gorgeous and versatile.  I think they will be finding their way into lots of future projects.

I decided on this design after playing around with some options in EQ7.  I like how the pillow shows off the prints and how it is very wing-like.  It seemed fitting.

I used the 4th fat quarter for the back of the pillow.  You can see that my pillow form was probably a little too big for my pillow (woops!) but it was the closest one I had.

I didn't take photos as I made the pillow so I'm not going to write up a tutorial, but I am uploading the templates for the pieces in case you want to make your own.  You can download them here.

Since I am only day 3 of the blog hop there are lots more pretty projects on their way.  You can see the full list on Bonnie's blog.  You should definitely check out Whitney's pretty DIY Flower Garland post from yesterday and check Bonnie's blog since we will be hopping over to her blog for day 4.  

And if you aren't already following Bonnie, she has more pretty coming in the very near future and her Instagram account is a feast for the eyes.

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...
