Hazel Hourglass Quilt

A few weeks ago I received some very happy mail: a bundle of Allison's new collection Hazel.  I had seen and admired the collection on her blog and Instagram and had really loved the fun and quirky fabrics so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them.

The fabrics are so pretty!  I particularly love the plaid prints and can see myself using those often.  

I looked to Pinterest for inspiration and found this great quilt by Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle.  My layout is a little different and my quilt is a little smaller, but I was definitely heavily inspired by the quilt.

The backing of the quilt is a great Ann Kelle print and the binding is a blue solid with my favorite blue plaid Hazel print mixed in.  

Finished size: 36" x 46"

Hazel will be shipping out in August, but in the meantime you can see more of it used in the lookbook.

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...
