Skopelos Blog Tour

DSC_7400-Edit
Today is my stop on the Skopelos blog tour.  Working with Katarina Roccella's fabric is dreamy and Skopelos is no exception; the colors are rich and gorgeous.  I used a few of the prints from the fabric line mixed in with Pure Elements solids in Nocturnal, Raspberry Rose, and Grapefruit.

I used a curved template that I drafted in EQ7 for the quilt.  My computer is having trouble printing a PDF of the template, but if I can get it to work and there is interest, I will post a download of the template later this week along with a quick tutorial.

There are so many gorgeous prints in this collection and one of my favorites is on the back.  I would have loved to use more of the collection but it was fun to be able to highlight my favorites.

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...
