Culcita Box Unboxing

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the sweet people at Culcita Box to see if I was interested in reviewing their new fabric subscription box. Generally I am not a fan of subscription boxes because space in my home is limited and I want to have control over the things that I bring into it. I have reviewed one other fabric subscription box in the past and it was . . . not my favorite, but this one sounded more promising.
Culcita Subscription Box
They have two box options: a fabric bundle box (with 1/4 yard, 1/2 yard, or 1 yard cuts) or a project kit. I don't tend to use kits, so I chose to receive the fabric bundle.

The adorable box arrived in a protective plastic bag (not pictured because it was completely soaked) which I really appreciated since it was pouring rain the day the box arrived.

Inside the box the fabric was nicely wrapped in tissue paper and included a fortune cookie (which I immediately ate) and two labels.

I was excited to find a fabric collection that I really like and will actually use. It is Elizabeth Olwen's Underwater collection from Cloud 9 Fabrics and it is Organic and oh so soft. I see a baby quilt in my future.

A card with information about the collection was included in the box which is really nice if you need to order more fabric for a quilt backing or a quilt.

There were 12 fabrics included with a good mix of prints and solids. There is plenty here to make a nice sized quilt.

The fortune cookie had probably the most accurate fortune I have ever received ;)

Pricing for this box runs $33 plus shipping, which makes it $2.75 per fat quarter and pretty reasonable for a quilt top. They do have a referral program: if you refer someone to Culcita Box, you get $5 off your next box and they get 10% off of their first one.

So would I recommend Culcita Box to other quilters out there? Yes, absolutely. I actually think it would be a really fun challenge to make a quilt each month that is inspired by the fabric in the box. If you have any other questions about the box, they have a great FAQ page.

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...
