Locket Quilt - AGF Stitched

Let me introduce you to the 4th and final AGF Stitched quilt of 2015: The Locket Quilt.  I have enjoyed making these quilts this year, but this design is my favorite.
Locket Quilt
I decided to use some April Rhodes prints for the quilt.  Most of them are from her Wanderer collection (one is from Bound) and they are lovely.

This was also the fastest and (I think) easiest quilt in the series.  The only changes that I made to the original pattern are to have 4 different D, E, G, & H fabrics instead of 2 and to just have one fabric for F & I (if those letters don't make any sense to you, check out the pattern here).

The backing fabric is from Wanderer.  And let's be honest, I didn't really have a choice.  It is one of the best backing fabrics ever.

    LOVE your fabric choices for this beautiful quilt pattern! Art Gallery is one of my favorite fabrics and I've never given a second look to this collection until seeing your stunning quilt. I hope you don't mind, but I am going to have to copy this version for my grandson. Thank you for sharing.

    This very simple meal is another spur of the moment dinner that turned out even better than I'd hoped. http://sewingmachinejudge.com/

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...
