Culcita Box Unboxing - June 2017

This month's Culcita Box contained a delightful collection by Amy Gibson called Meriwether.  I hadn't seen any of the prints in this collection before it arrived in the mail and it was love at first sight.

The box also contained a cute pattern.

And a fortune cookie (eaten before the photo, ha ha) and a label.

After the box arrived I checked out some images of the collection on Instagram.  They are nice, but they don't do the colors justice.  It is a really lovely collection.

I tend to get into ruts where I only buy fabric from the same designers over and over again, but if you are looking to try something new, Amy's collection is one to check out.  That yellow floral in the center top of the photo is gorgeous.

If you are interested in signing up for the monthly subscription service, Culcita offers really flexible options with different cuts of fabric and frequency of delivery. Check out my previous posts to see what they have sent so far this year.

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...
