Woven Baby Quilt

I have been a baby-quilt-making mood lately.  Maybe it is because my lots of my friends have had babies recently or because my sister is having twin girls this summer, but expect to see a few more in the next little while.

The colors for the quilt were inspired by a DS Quilts plaid print that I had in my stash that I had planned to use as the backing, but then when it was time the baste to the quilt I realized that I was about 6" short.  Oops!

So then I found this Loominous (which is a woven, yarn-dyed that you can find here and here) fabric in my stash which I like better anyway.  It is so soft!

I really like playing around with the woven look (see here, here, and here).  This one just uses 2.5" colored squares and 4.5" background squares.

This quilt is now available in my Etsy shop.  

And one photo of the babe just because it was on my memory card when I loaded up the quilt photos ;)

    The picture of the smiley face of the darling baby, has made my day. He is adorable. I hardly noticed the quilt, but it's very sweet too.

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...
