Out to Sea Betty Quilt (and scrap giveaway)

Earlier this week I was putting away some fabric and noticed a stack of Out to Sea that has been sitting in my stash for a while.  After I made this quilt, I fell in love with the collection and bought a whole bunch of it.  Of course I liked it so much that I didn't do anything with it until this week.

I used the baby size of The Betty Quilt pattern.  When I wrote the pattern I made the twin size version and have been wanting to make the other two sizes, and I had just enough time to squeeze in the baby quilt this week.

The backing is the dark pink anchors and the binding is my favorite print from the collection.  And I made sure to get a few mermaids into the quilt.

I used Quilter's Dream Puff batting for the first time and I really love the texture it gives the finished quilt.  It is fluffy, but still feels substantial without being bulky.

Finished size: 42" x 51"
Fabric: Out to Sea by Sarah Jane
Batting: Quilter's Dream Puff

Since my scrap bins overfloweth, I have decided to start giving away my scraps after I finish most projects.  I have a nice sized stack of scraps leftover from this quilt that I would love to giveaway.  If you are interested, just leave a comment and I will pick a winner in the next few days.  A winner has been chosen, congrats Kirsten!  I will be giving away more scraps in the future so watch out for future posts.  

This quilt is now listed in my Etsy shop.  Just a reminder that I am clearing out the shop and will be progressively marking down quilts over the next couple weeks.  They are currently marked down 20%.

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
