Peppered Cottons Plaid Quilt (and a giveaway)

Welcome to day 17 of the Jaftex 85th anniversary blog hop.  Jaftex makes beautiful Peppered Cottons which are a personal favorite of mine that I have used a little here and there and various projects (a few places here, for the binding here) and I was interested in being able to make a project entirely with this beautiful fabric.

While all of the colors are really lovely, I was particularly drawn to the more neutral tones and felt like they would make a great baby boy quilt.  This may have been on my mind because I have a 4 month old baby boy ;)

The fabrics were wonderful to work with and the finished project is so buttery soft.  My favorite use for this fabric might be as the quilt binding.

Jaftex Corp. was founded in the 1930’s when Jacob A. Fortunoff started selling fabric on the streets of New York.  At that time, the mainstay of the business was women’s sleepwear and lingerie.  In the 80’s, Jacob’s grandson, Robert, dramatically changed the business of the company.  The business focus was transferred to the over the counter quilt industry when Robert purchased companies like A.E. Nathan, Henry Glass, Stylemaker, Chanteclaire, Fabric Editions/Studioe and more recently The Blank Quilting Corp.  Robert is now joined by his two sons, Scott and Greg.  Scott currently is the President of Studioe Fabrics, The Blank Quilting Corp. & A.E. Nathan Co., Inc.  Greg just joined the business in late 2014 and has successfully spearheaded the company’s foray in to precut fabrics among other contributions.

    I love your plaid quilt. I have 3 boys so I too like those baby boy designs. Peppered cottons are also a favorite. I am into solids lately and the "pepper" adds some texture while still reading solid.

    Baby boy quilts are a little more interesting to make than girl quilts. I'm not sure why that is exactly. I guess we just have to think outside the box a little differently. Great job and I like the way the colors segment into each other.

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...
