Quilt Remix

Since I have been spending lots of time with a baby sleeping on my shoulder (not that I'm complaining, it's amazing!) and haven't been able to do any sewing, I thought I would spend some time playing with different fabrics in my Skopelos Quilt layout (in case you missed it, I wrote up a quick tutorial here).  I worked with fabrics from each of my sponsor's shops.  It's amazing how using different fabrics can change the look of the quilt!

I am in love with the First Light collection.  This would be a fun quilt for a baby boy.

    I'm loving the black and white version. I think I need to plan out a black and white quilt for myself.

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 quilting to be too dense since the fabrics are i
