Winged Pillow Sham

Back when I was working on this Winged twin quilt, the commissioner of the quilt asked if I could also make a matching pillow sham.  Now to be honest I have made throw pillows and pillow cases, but I have never actually made a pillow sham.  But of course there are lots of tutorials available online (I used this one) so I said yes.

And I don't think this will be the last one I make.  It was pretty easy and quick to put together.  The only change that I made was that I pieced and quilted the front of the sham.

It was also great because I was able to use a lot of the scraps leftover from the quilt top.  I only had to order a little extra of the quilt backing for the back of the pillow sham.

Now I think I need to make one of these for each of my kids' beds :)

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...
