Sleep Tight Baby Quilt

A few weeks ago, this box of fabric came in the mail from Culcita Box. I put it on my shelf as a motivation.  There were a lot of things on my to do list that I wasn't super excited about, so I decided that when I finished all of those things, I could make a quilt with the Sleep Tight fabrics.

Once all of the boxes in the garage were (pretty much) unpacked, I put some photos on the wall, and I sent my new pattern off to my pattern testers, I got to play with these fabrics.

I knew that I wanted to keep it simple and I wanted to keep as many of the images from the Toys print as intact as possible.  I was just working with a fat quarter, but I was still able to get six of them.  They are so cute!

This collection has such a great variety of grays, they have just enough contrast with each other.  And I love the detail that went into the fabrics.

I backed the quilt with this Melody Miller Disco Fruit print that I picked up from the FabricCadabra sale (only $5.25/yard!).

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...
