Winged Twin Quilt

A few weeks ago I got an email asking if I could make a twin size quilt similar to my Winged Baby Quilt.  I'm not sure if it was the best idea to take on a large commission project when I was early in the first trimester and needing 14 hours of sleep a day, but I really love working with these fabrics and colors and wanted to make another project with them.  Plus it gave me something with a deadline and helped me keep going.

I kept the color palate pretty similar, minus the purple, and added in some more gray.  The quilt is for a little girl's bed and I like how the colors are sweet and just a little spunky.

Notice the lush green grass in the background, it actually rained!
The back of the quilt is a Winged print and I love how pretty and creamy it is.

Even though I'm feeling quite a bit less tired now, trying to baste a quilt this large was quite the task so I think I will be sticking to smaller project until this baby shows up.

I still need to make a matching pillow sham before I mail this one out but I was so excited to share a finished project that I didn't want to wait :)

Finished size: 70" x 90"

    I love the palette you chose, especially the star blocks that are low volume, which adds interest.

    I love the colors. Good for you to focus on finishing this beauty. I know those first few months are taxing on your energy. This was a great result for keeping motivated. I love this

    That is so beautiful! I can imagine how cute it's going to look in a little girls room!
    I dread basting anything larger than a throw size. You've got guts to do a twin pregnant! LOL!

    I'm working on a Winged quilt right now, too. I never would have guessed that the two of us used the same line! I kept the deep eggplant and omitted the green. I love how you played up the yellow -- lovely!

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...
