Welcome to finish it up Friday! Today is also my day on the RJR Solids Blog Hop brought to you by
Brenda of
Pink Castle Fabrics and
RJR Fabrics.
I had a chance to play with the
cotton supreme solids from RJR and I was impressed. The fabric has a nice weight to it (not too thick, not too thin), it is easy to work with (very little fraying, which is super!) and the quality is fantastic (very smooth with no blemishes). I was also impressed with the colors--so vibrant and pretty!
It took me several weeks to decide what to use these pretties for! After much deliberation, I combined the solid bundle with some Anna Maria fabrics from my stash. I sewed them up using
Cheryl's pattern Nap Like an Egyptian from
Sunday Morning Quilts.
I usually don't work with this many saturated colors at once, (or triangles, for that matter!) but it was a nice change of pace. You may have noticed that some orange fabric worked it's way into the mix. After several blocks things were looking kind of....predictable. The orange "stirs the pot" just a bit, but in a good way!
I quilted it with straight lines to echo the large triangles. I washed and dried it and it puckered up in an unattractive manner. So, I went back and quilted around each small center triangle, then buried about a million thread ends. The additional quilting seemed to help tame the puckering. I could probably add even more quilting, but I think I'm done! After making 200+ quilts I learn a lesson every time. (Unfortunately, some of those lessons have to be learned more than once. Doh!)
The quilt measures about 63" x 70" or so. It's nice lap size and it's already super soft and snuggly!
I'm happy to be offering up a fat quarter bundle of the Cotton Supreme Solids to one of my lucky readers. This bundle features the same solid fabrics I used in my quilt (plus white).
The specific colors (from top to bottom) are:
#33 Optical White
#181 Rhododendron
#348 Neon (it IS bright!)
#349 Aloe Verde
#292 Turks and Caicos
#328 Bora Bora
#333 Bougainvillea
#341 Stormy Night
If you would like to win this bundle, please leave me a comment in this post. You can tell me what your favorite day of the week is, your favorite color, your favorite snack, your favorite beverage, your favorite fabric line, your favorite WIP....anything along those lines....just don't say "pick me", please! Thanks a bunch. :)
Now, if you would like to link up your finishes, it's time! Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!

My favorite day of the week is Saturdays. I love that my kids are home from school all day and that my Mama comes over to visit. AND my husband helps me to sleep in by answering our kids beck n'call.
I love that they have brought back solids to the quilting world. They really brighten up the prints!
My favorite people are my hubby and kids :)
Weirdly enough, my favorite day of the week is Monday. It's the day I get to hear from my brother who is serving a mission in Equador. Thanks for the chance. I love those colors!
My favorite color is orange.
My color philosophy (yes my house is quite colorful)
Beige is not a color.
If colors are the same intensity they match.
Pastels are for the weak! : )
I am a magpie when it comes to prints so my solids stash could use a boost. Thanks for the opportunity!

My favorite day of the week is Monday--a fresh start full of anticipation...color changes with the season-right now it is yellow...I love the solids. Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite work in progress is a paper-piecing stars quilt. I just finished piecing the top last night. It's my first paper-piecing project, and it's my first project with all solids. I'm loving how it's turning out! (I might actually have to keep this one, too, instead of giving it away.)
I will pick my favorite frui(s): watermelon & mango, both not so good in Germany, but in Brazil, my home contry!
One of my favorite things to do is to have my lunch and catch up on blogs like yours. It's like food for the body and food for the creative soul.
Well... My favorite kinds of fabric to sew with are solids, so this would be a welcome addition to the stash around here. I appreciate your colorful, scrap-using quilt inspiration in your blog. Thanks.
Wow, great quilt and great colors. Favorites... Love chocolate, the color green, So You Think You Can Dance, hot chocolate, Adele, Rob Thomas, Michael Miller fabrics, and potato chips. Thank you for the chance to win!
These colors are beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win.
So glad you are back from your break. Can surely understand the need to take a breather every now and then.
beautiful bright bold quilt! Thanks for sharing it and hosting finish it up Friday! My favorite thing is feeling accomplished. Love that!
Wow! Love the colors and how you calmed them by using the solids around. My favorite snack is anything with chocolate in it and, believe it or not, favorite day is Monday!!! Kids are off to school, you know...
I love the saturated colors in this quilt! That is totally my style! I would have to work hard NOT to have saturated colors... and bright colors for that matter. My favorite day of the week would be Friday, because that means I have all weekend to sew and quilt!
Love the triangles! I'm always too afraid to try this too far out of the box but maybe I could handle triangles!
My favorite quilts are made with these bold bright colors like this quilt... it just screams HAPPY to me... it is beautiful
My favourite colour is aqua. I think your quilt is stunning
My favorite snack is chips and salsa
I love getting to know new fabric lines! My favorites to work with are Moda and Riley Blake. But I fall in love with fabric where ever I go shopping and haven't found any fabric I don't fall in love with! Oh, a new love lately is Adorn It! So cute! Really I am working on lining all the walls of my house with fabric! It makes great insulation. I only have a few cupboards/closets with fabric so far! Well some are quilts! Love love love quilting and fabric!
I am beginning to like scrap quilts more and more. The solids you are giving away look very soft to the touch.
Let's see: My favorite color is blue, my favorite drink is tea, my favorite WIP is my temperature quilt, favorite snack would have to be chocolate and I don't have a favorite fabric line. I'm always in love with what ever is right in front of me.
my whole family is currently in love with chicago style mix of popcorn, Krave cereal and apple pears! thanks for a chance.
Oh... I love the bright, vibrant colors in that quilt! I'm sure it will get lots of use. My favorite color is green, but I also love the blues that are in the bundle. It would be great to win! Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win.
I would love to win it.
Favorite day of the week? Saturday of course!
I don't really have a favourite day...a day that I get to be creative is a good one. I love blues and greens.... really love this quilt, simple and effective.
My favorite day of the week is Saturday. I go to mass and see lots of friends, and if I am out of town it is for fun or family. Great day.
I love this quilt! Nice bright colors and the solids pull it all together. My favorite color at the moment is pink.
I just pin basted my scrap churn dash quilt and I used mostly mustard, grey, hot pink, aqua/turquoise with a bit of white/cream & black. I guess those are my favorite colors to work with at the moment. I have to fave them at least until I finish the quilting! :>)
My favorite beverage is Orangina. My family took a trip right after I graduated from high school, and we drank Orangina constantly. So it brings back such happy (warm) memories. And it's delicious!
My favorite day of the week is Sunday. I get to go to yoga and come home to sew.
Turquoise and cobalt blue are my two favorite colors. Thanks for the chance to win; I rarely work with solids but these look delicious!
This week, my favorite day was Tuesday because it was my birthday. I love how you used these! Great quilt. I can't wait to find these solids in a store. Thanks.
Love your version of Cheryl's quilt and love the solids of course. So happy you are back to your blog too. :)
I love your quilt - amazing use of colour, I also LOVE the fabric colpur names - I only spotted them when I wanted to say how stunning the Bora Bora and Bougainvillea were together!
So glad you are back, you have been missed. My favorite day is Friday, color is blue. Great finish for today.

Thanks for the chance to win. I love the color blue. One of my favorite desserts is chocolate mousse! So yummy!
So nice to see examples of straight quilting. Lovely quilt, lovely colours. Now my favourite colour to patchwork with at the moment is purple. It keeps calling to me ;)

My favorite color is yellow, would love to make a triangle quilt that encompasses that color.
Favorite popsicle flavor: Rootbeer
I love quilt! All those saturated colors work well together! My favorite day of the week is Friday - a whole weekend to look forward to! Thanks for the giveaway!

My favourite day of the week is Saturday because there's usually some sewing time in there, but especially the third Saturday of the month as I get a day pass to hang out with a group of quilting buddies at the LQS! Luxury.
What wonderful colors! I am in the process of moving to a new house and I have been packing/culling my stash. I noticed that I mostly have dark colors but my tastes have changed to brighter fabrics, which I have few of. No wonder I can never seem to use up my stash! The other funny thing is that my favorite color is green and I have a lot of green - but I never seem to use green in my quilts. Go figure. Thanks for the chance!
My favorite color is Magenta.
My favorite snack is ice cream
My favorite beverage is Diet Pepsi
My favorite fabric line is Meadow
My favorite WIP is my postage stamp
Pick me please :-p
I working on a quilt-a-long with star blocks and having so much fun learning new techniques. Quilting is my favorite thing to do!
My favorite season is maple syrup season. I get to watch Spring evolve while collecting sap though the Feb/Mar/April months. Then we renew our supply of syrup! And now that it's almost over, I can start my latest quilt! Love those saturated solids! Thanks for the chance!
My favorite color is green, which I am going through with-drawls for right about now. We live in northern WI and we are due to have about 10" of more snow by this evening (we are already up to 6")! Boo!!!!... So your cheerful and bright quilt is exactly what I need to see right now! Lovely quilt, Amanda!
The quilt is beautiful! My favorite colors are the greens and plum colors.
My favorite color seems to change with my mood, the day, or just about anything. Is that weird? My three year old (all pink, all the time) definitely thinks it is.
My favorite time of year is spring-beautiful flowers and birds.
Thanks,
Peggy

Do people really say "pick me"? Honestly!
Currently, my favorite WIP is my Scrumptious pinwheels pillow shams. Working on the sashing right now!
I am happiest when I am playing with fabric, cutting pieces for blocks then sewing it all together. My husband told me that he would never understand why I cut up perfectly good material into little pieces and sew it back together. Men!
Gorgeous quilt! Great choice!I always admire the way you pick fabric, everytime I look at the stack and think interesting and then when you show a photo of the quilttop I'm astounded! A true gift!

Gorgeous triangle quilt.
Thursday. I'm from a family of seven kids, being the 4th, my day was Thursday. On that day we had to set and clear the table, say grace, and generally be the helper.

This is gorgeous! The colours are so bright and happy. Please pick me! :-)

Right now my favorite is lemon. Lemon filled donut, lemon sorbet, lemon cream tart!
Favorite fabric designer -- AMH. This is lovely! I'm so glad there are lots of new solids available these days...Kona has a wide range but the hand of it is...not my favorite. :)
Love, love the colorful Nap like an Egyptain! My favorite thing is the names of the fabric lines or the fabric names themselves. Where do they come up with those? Love Bougainvillea
My favorite day of the week is Saturday. It's the only day that I get to sleep in, and then I have the entire day to myself! Tomorrow, I'm planning on some gardening and some baking, and then dinner and a movie with a friend. Love Saturdays!!
Beautiful quilt. My favorite color is blue, but I tend to work with a rainbow of colors.
Wow!! I really like the colors in this quilt!!! My favorite color is yellow and my favorite day is any day I am able to work on my sewing projects!!
My favorite day of the week is Tuesday because, although I still have to go to work, I don't need to go in until 2pm, and I often get to sew in the morning.
So glad you had a good break. THanks so much for hosting Finish it Friday - such great inspiration. My favorite drink is iced tea :)

Your title caught my eye this time...SOLIDS! At our Quilt Group meeting last week, President Maria aka apiecefullife.com announced that our challenge for our next quilt show would be SOLIDS! Some people weren't so pleased, but I was delighted at the idea. I love ALL the colours of the rainbow and the idea of solids, makes my mid crazy thinking of so many possibilities.
Love this quilt - such vibrant colors! My favorite holiday is July 4th! Summer, sand and fireworks! Yay!
I love purple, always have, always will. I seem to want to make all my quilts using purple somewhere in them.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful quilt. My favorite day of the week is any day that I have time to quilt.
awesome bold solids. happy to have you back inspiring others again! thanks for doing what you do. interesting tidbit for my post-i'm originally from rural western wisconsin. i think that's close to where you are. happy friday!
My favorite color to add to a quilt that is a little . . . Blah, is orange. It goes with everything!
Beautiful quilt! My favourite WIP is my Zakka Block Quilt. I can't wait to finish it then I'm going to have to wait for my friend's birthday before giving it to her!
Welcome BACK!!! So missed your blog writings and inspiring photos.... Love your newest project! My favorite day of the week is SATURDAY! love to squeeze in sewing therapy! Love my coke, Love French fries, love to see the sun(have had too much winter!!) Would love to see how these fabrics sew up. Do you know why or ever have issues with solid white fabric getting "warped/wavy" when sewn into quilt blocks???
Favorite day is Sunday, favorite snack is cheese and crackers, love me a glass of icy Chardonnay, am fiddling with a boxy pouch and waiting for my cast to come off! Welcome back
I have a new favorite today, it's a coconut pineapple sparkling water! Yum! It's a pretty color too, need some fabric like it!
Love the directions here: I love that I can quilt... and make beautiful beautiful things, and blog on the web about them - how cool!!!
My favorite day is the day I get to quilt, with nothing else on the calendar! I'm working on the log cabin quilt in Sunday Morning Quilts - love how it is coming together.
My favorite thing is trying all the new stuff out there! I didn't quilt much for the last 4 years or so! Your book was one of the first books I bought, my daughter and I both have "the Sunday Morning quilt". I have been doing "modern quilting" for years and didn't even know it :0) Right now I am playing with selvages, who would have guessed! Some things have changed!
Welcome back! I hope you had some restful time. I love to incorporate yellow, even a tiny bit, into almost every room of my house and most of my projects. How can you not smile when you see a little bit of yellow?
Love your quilt! It's just gorgeous! My favorite thing to do other than is quilt is to bake. Unfortunately it's just hubby and me and we don't need it.
I love the colors in the quilt. I'm scared of triangles!
My favorite beverage is masala chai tea. If I could live on just chai, I would.
My favorite day of the week is Friday....because when it's Friday, Saturday can't be far behind!
I love the eye-catching solid colors and the triangles in this quilt! Thank you so much for sharing it! My favorite color is blue, but it goes well with your orange pops!
First of all, I'm so so glad you're back from a much-needed break and glad to see all your "finish it Friday" friends on board.
Favorite color: blue (all shades)
Favorite treat: chocolate ! ! !
Favorite drink: Peppermint Tea
I love the fabulous colors you've highlighted and they would fit in my "stash" just fine!

Hmm, I think the best day of the week is Friday but I love all weekend days!
My favorite type of blog is one that teaches me something, like this one. My take away is that more quilting can help limit the 'bunchies'
Welcome back to blogging! I like the fabric colors in this quilt.
Love your quilt. My favorite color is purple.
Hello! My. Favorite WIP is the quilt I'm plotting for my daughter's 6th birthday (July). Right now, my favorite thing to find is inspiring quilts w/o white, since I'd like it to look good for awhile, but I expect her to use it hard, if you know what I mean. The colors in this quilt would be a HUGE hit with her. Thanks for the inspiration. I love what you did with the solids.
My favorite candy (thank goodness I can only find it around Easter) are Brach's Spiced Jelly Bird Eggs...Mmmmm so good.
My favourite colour is green but I rarely use it in quilts. Not sure why. And, being on maternity leave, every day of the week feels the same to me :-)
Favorite day: Saturday because my husband is home.
Favorite color: Purple although red is a close second.
Favorite thing to pass the time: reading quilting blogs :)
My favorite day of this week will be Saturday because we're having a combined birthday celebration at my house. My husband's, my daughter's, and my granddaughter's birthdays are all in April. Simmered a big pot of sauce all day long today for a spaghetti birthday dinner! BTW, love those solids!!
My favorite day of the week is Thursday because it has my favorite shows on and I know Friday is coming! :) I have heard these solids are wonderful and would love to try them out for myself!

I like the saturated colors it makes it really modern. My favorite color is Yellow but for some reason I never seem to use it in my quilts.
Love the colours and the triangles. Is the pattern available? My WIP is a quilt with painted nursery rhyme themes for my grand son (just 4 days old). My current favourite colour is aloe Vera green.
My favorite day of the week is Monday...I do laundry and between loads I get to sew! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
Welcome back from your break!
Just wanted to mention that my favorite block is the nine patch.
thepennings@juno.com
I like the wine colored solid. I back into purple after the radiant orchid quilt contest.
I am not sure if I quilt or just collect fabric. So many WIP and so few finishes. LOVE the quilt. raverne@comcast.net
Love all the color in your quilt!!!
My favorite is any shade of purple, but I am trying to step out of my comfort zone and try more vibrant mixes of color. And my new favorite shape here lately are triangles. Definitely adding a quilt like this to my to-do list.
I love the colors in the quilt. I'm on a chevron kick and I've got some fabric screaming for me to make it into a chevron quilt using your tutorial here on your blog. So for now that my favorite. Maybe someday I will be able to share it on finish it up Friday. :)
All those saturated colors look fantastic in your quilt! My favorite day of the week is Saturday because I get to sleep in!
What a crazy fun quilt! The bright colors are so nice and cheery.
My favorite day of the week is any day I get in my workouts. They provide some much needed energy and sense of accomplishment at the start of my day. After that everything else is just cream! :)
I love the solids so bright and fun. My favorite color has to be turquoise.
I love a great sunny day. And a pretty spring green fabric. It's my favorite happy binding color :-)
Wow - I think your choice of fabrics has really fulfilled the potential of Cheryl's quilt design! Of course, Nap Like an Egyptian would look good in anything, but I particularly like it with your fabrics. Oh, and I love hot chocolates or Milo (but they must be made with full fat milk. No water and no skim milk thanks!).
My favorite color is orange, but I love this bundle anyway!
Love the cheery colors in your quilt. I would have to say my favorite day of the week is Friday because I get to relax and heal my sore muscles from working out all week and spending time with my family.
My favourite time of year is Spring. Colour shows up again after the white of winter.
I love a Monday. Because I love to have a fresh start on the week and be ready start on all my projects with lots of energy!
My favorite day of the week is Sunday. I love having a peaceful day together where we put aside the pressures and stresses of the world and focus on what is most important: God and family.
My favorite day of the week is Friday. It's my last work day, and I can start to unwind. I usually peak at anything sewing related Friday evening. I am loving your quilt, and would love to get my hands on that neon green colored fabric.
Great quilt and gorgeous colours.
I am retired so every day of the week is wonderful. And I can't pick a favourite colour because I love rainbows!!
My favorite color is purple. Favorite snack? Probably a nice high quality dark chocolate.
I am loving solids at the moment, especially bright ones. I really like the Walk like an Egyptian quilt. It looks a little out of my league yet, but soon I'll try it.
My favorite all solids quilt is ara janes 3/4 log cabin quilt :)
I love this quilt. The colors just sparkle. My favorite color is turquoise.
My favorite color is purple. Another random favorite...I recently discovered Edy's/Dreyer's Bakery Edition ice creams. The coffee with chocolate covered cookie pieces is awesome
love your quilt! I'm going to say my fave color is teal. Thanks for the chance to win! ksmith8@emich.edu
Fave tv show - Breaking Bad. Fave colour - teal. Fave food - Mexican. And I love your triangle quilt
My favorite hobby is quilting, favorite people are my two sons, and favorite color changes almost daily--I like lots of colors, usually mixed together!
Those are yummy! I love green and I see a couple of greens in there. :)
Your quilt is gorgeous! My favorite day of the week is every day because I'm blessed with a wonderful life! I enjoy keeping up with your blog on my Feedly. I really need to try triangles, but they are so scary!
Nice quilt you made, even though my favourite shape in quilts is a square!
Nice to see the fabrics in action as well as in a bundle, they go so well together and with the bold prints too. My favourite block is Flying Geese.
My favorite color is red - to me it's a neutral. I do want to make something with more modern fabrics though. All those bright prints just come naturally to me.
Love your quilt and those solids. I love the names of them also. Right now my favorite day is April 16th...the day after tax season is over!
My favourite singer - Elvis. And my favourite song - Love me Tender!
I remember it well way back when, that's when I fell in love with Elvis!
Wow, I have missed you! I am off blogging myself at the moment. Just wondering if there is any point! Not sure if it is for me... My favourite day of the week is Saturday. My family of 4 is all together and we do things together and hang out and eat our meals together and aren't rushing.
What a pretty quilt! I love Nap Like an Egyptian. Not that I've ever made it, but I'd love to try it some time. I have to say my favourite colour is green, but orange and purple are also pretty high up there.
Love those fabrics and the description of the quality! Here is a different favorite...my favorite campground is Twin Shores in Darnley, PrinceEdward Island, Canada.
My favourite colour is purple, and I have to try not to put it into every single quilt I make!
My favourite place is St Ives in Cornwall (UK). I'm there now and as I paperpiece hexagons for a WIP I can look out the window and see just about all those colours in the landscape around me. The shades of blue echo the sea when the sun comes out; the green and neon are reflected in the hillside and even the sand. I can see the rhododendron and bougainvillea in the sunset and I've certainly seen one or two stormy nights down here! St Ives is a place for art in all media and these colours capture it perfectly. I can feel another WIP coming on :)
So pretty - I love Sundays - the day of the Lord.
I love your blog. I think I might try the block quilt you posted a couple days ago with the white border for my daughter's two little sisters at college.
My favorite color these days is Turquoise but I always need spell check to get it spelled right.
thanks so much for the chance to win this gorgeous fabric - your triangle quilt looks fabulous ! oh and my favourite colour is pink :)
My favorite color is purple. I love bright and cheerful colors. carolann427@aol.com
A few of my favorite things fibery friends, F/M quilting, gray, Rum Chata with spiced coffee and everyday!
I don't really have a favorite day of the week. I love my job and I also love my home life, so it all balances out. I try to view each day as a blessing. I do love the colors yellow and green especially well. As far as other favorites, chocolate, wine, cheese, fun times spent with girl friends, quilting, and lovely crinkly quilty goodness in a freshly washed new quilt!!
I love the way the Nap Like an Egyptian turned out!! I'd love to use those yummy solids with some of my crazy cat fabric stash. Maybe I'll use my new GO! isosceles triangle die.
My favorite day of the week is Sunday. i love to go to church to hear the Word of God preached and afterward join with like minds for a pleasant meal. My favorite colors are pink and green and have been for a long time. i now have another color vying for first place. In your giveaway bundle its name is Turks and Caicos. So beautiful!
so hard to choose my favorite fabric line, toss up between jo morton anything or kaffe fassett anything...i'm bipolar....LOL
My favorite vacation is: Stay at my brother's home to babysit for his cat while he's out of town. I spend the entire week sewing, blogging, drinking coffee, watching movies and taking long walks! It's so refreshing and relaxing,
How about favorite movie???
I love The Out-of-Towners (the original with Jack Lemmon). Could watch it a million times and still laugh like crazy.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
I love that very interesting shade of green. Love how that solids frame the prints in your quilt.
A few of my favorite things are Fridays, coffee, and planning in my head. When I saw your beautiful colorful quilt, I looked at my stash. It is seriously lacking solid colors and bold prints, although a lot of my fabric read as solid. I have always loved solid color quilts, but I have been told they are boring. I think NOT! Design then becomes the visual draw.
I love the quilt. The colors really pop. I can see all kinds of quilts using any of these colors. My favorite is the purple!
My favorite name from the bundle is #292 Turks and Caicos. Thanks for reminding me about this great pattern that can showcase larger prints! Just what I was looking for to use up some amy butler prints
I'm loving purple at the moment and am excited to be working on my bluebird park hedgehog WIP today!
One of my favorite things to do is look at quilts on blogs! This quilt is stunning!
Love your quilt because of the solids. They really make it sparkle. Favorite day of the week: any day hubby goes fishing 'cuz there's no meals to cook and I can sew all day long!

My favorite color is purple and my favorite type of exercise is running with a group of mother runners.
Glad to have you back posting pix of your great work.

I seem to be addicted to solids and prints with white these days. This is a great opportunity to think about taking my fabric selections in another direction for a change.
I love my stash of fabric scraps! They are organized by color, but all the different patterns makes them so interesting to look at! Almost harder to use up than my stash!
Great quilt. The triangles are worth the extra effort. I am currently loving orange as a favorite color.
My favorite season is fall, my favorite place is the beach, and my favorite WIP is the plus sign quilt I'm currently working on. :)
my favorite color is BLUE and blue :)
always green, not sure about the day of the week as being retired one day is much like another. Coffee if not talking about alcohol! These solids are so vivid very nice indeed
I adore your use of saturated color, the quilt came out beautifully. Today my favorite fabric collection is Fox Field by Tula Pink.
