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!
Love the quilt. I guess my favorite color is yellow and I try and sneak it into all of my scrap quilts!
ReplyDeleteI love your book Sunday Morning Quilts. I have learned so much from it and how to deal with my scraps. Welcome back to blogland.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. I have been thinking of making a similar pattern but have not started collecting fabrics yet. I am working UFO's trying not to buy fabric. My favorite day of the week is Friday. I love looking back at what I have been able to accomplish and then blog hop to see what others of have done. Quilt on!
ReplyDeleteI love the simple quilting in this one. I've been having trouble with fold-overs in my quilting recently, no matter how well I think I baste it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
I was quite amused by your post since I was just looking at Cheryl's version of this quilt in the Sunday Mornings book! I am a librarian so I ordered it for our collection at work. It circulates well :).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the week is Friday afternoon at 5:05 when I am driving home from work for the weekend. It is a moment of pure heaven in anticipation of the weekend!

Ohh, what a lovely quilt. I love how those bright colors mix well with the prints. That beautiful bundle has my favorite color in it, green :) Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove this and I think I would even give it a try. I love sweet't tea here in the south. It is supposed to be 85 and sunny here at the coast today! Loving spring.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite day is Monday because it feels like a break for me as eveyone returns to work and school :)
ReplyDeleteI never thought about quilting after washing. I hope it doesn't come to that for me, but thanks for giving me something to keep in mind!
I love your deep bright colors! I'm a 'newbie' and trying different things by watching tutorials. It has been fun looking around your blog !
ReplyDeleteCowladytatum
Gorgeous quilt. I sneak a lot of orange in too, but I also lean toward other warm colors like yellow and red.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite color is red, and I love my morning, when I have a cup of coffee and read my blog reader while everything is quiet. I love the combination of colours in this quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteRight now my favourite WIP is an English Paper Pieced hexagon quilt in "modern" fabrics.

ReplyDeleteAfter a long dreadful winter...Spring is most welcome with return of colours...that is a happy time!!!:0))
How about my favourite book (non-quilting)? It's Turtle Moon by Alice Hoffman.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the orange. I must be more adventurous and try adding a slightly random colour to my quilts to see how it mixes things up. You are very good at that!
What a fantastic quilt Amanda!!! I love it. I especially love the pop or orange next to the purple solid (my favorite color). It really does mix it up so well and add a great focal interest point. It is just so happy, makes me want to curl under it and Nap like an Egyptian :)
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at that bundle, my favorite color today is lime green... Margarita, anyone?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilt pattern these days is really a quilting technique. I've been making one block wonder quilts. They are fun and unpredictable.

ReplyDeletePersonally, I love the highly saturated colors you used in this quilt. As for my favorite day of the week...Friday. Specifically, Friday at 6:00 p.m. That's when my husband of 30 years comes home from work and we get to spend some relaxing time together. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com

ReplyDeleteJust finished a neutral queen size wedding quilt, so am really enjoying all of the colors in this one. "Happy" and "fun" were the first two words that came to mind. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, but I remember a time when orange seemed like a shunned color. Now, I see it frequently, but still less than other colors. I have always loved orange and I use it often in my quilts. I occasionally wear orange clothing and every day I drive my orange SUV.

ReplyDeleteThis quilt is truly stunning. My favorite tip from this post is the addition of orange and how it "stirs the pot". Well said! That's one area I need help with and this color lesson helps a lot. Thanks for showing how you've been picking your fabrics for your quilts! Also, it goes without saying how happy we are that you're back ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like aquas, like that Turks and Caicos one in your bundle. thanks for the chance. do you still have snow on the ground in Wisconsin? We sure do up here in Winnipeg.

ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are back and refreshed after your month off, I have missed seeing how you manage to turn scraps into wonderful quilts and pillows and of course I've missed 'finish it up friday'.

ReplyDeleteThis quilt is just stunning! My favorite - color - blue in any hue.
ReplyDeleteThese are a few of my favorite things.....Getting together go sew with the girls, my precious kitties, coffee cake from Panera, Houston blend coffee is the smoothest tastiest stuff, a good joke that makes you laugh from down deep in your belly, the fresh smell of lilacs on a beautiful May day....

ReplyDeleteMy favorite season is summer and (at least down here in the South) we're finally starting to get some nicer, warmer weather to indicate that summer will be here before we know it!
What a lovely finish! I never would have picked those AMH prints to go with the solids you had but the finished result is fantastic! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love my first cup of coffee in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI would say that I actually like any color although I have been partial to orange lately. Fall is my favorite time of year, you know when the first smell of crispness is in the air. I have this quilt on my todo list I really enjoy working with the different solids, it's amazing what a difference there is in their textures.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie to half watch while I hand bind a quilt is the keira knightley pride and prejudice. I know it well enough I don't have to look up, but I know it well enough that I know just when to look up!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is aqua. My favorite beverage is Dr. Pepper but I'm trying to stop. I only have 2 per day otherwise I drink water. And my favorite thing to do is sewing and quilting and also reading about quilting if I'm not able to actually quilt that day. I'm addicted to quilting books and magazines.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt! Love the colors. I am glad you put orange in there, it does shake things up. It is always encouraging to me when you share the lessons you learn along the way. My favorite WIP is my Celtic Solstice top from Bonnie Hunter's mystery. The top is done but the back is still swirling around in my head! Still trying to decide how much work to put into the back. So there it sits smiling at me as I go in our family room which happens to be where my sewing space is. I am so glad you are back blogging. We love your ideas and your willingness to try new things. K-
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colors! My favorite color is green.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is orange, and I just finished piecing my second quilt, Modern Rose Garden by Emily Cier. No orange in it, but I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is PURPLE! I have always loved purple. My Mom, bless her heart, let me paint my room purple and even bought purple carpet for my room when I was a kid. However, strangely enough, I hardly ever use it in quilts.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of day is first thing in the morning. Before the kids get up (which is tough to do because I have a daughter who is up with the sun!) I love to sit with my coffee in the dimly lit room. I like to read my blogs or watch the news or check my email! Quiet in my house is hard to come by, so I take it when I can!
ReplyDeleteFavourite day ia any day I get to stay home and sew ; ) Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite WIP is my Gypsy Wife quilt. I am taking a block of the month class at my awesome local quilt shop, Mama Said Sew. Angela is amazing & this is shaping up to be the most perfect thing I've ever made.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite WIP is the wedding quilt for my niece Chain+Link and can't wait to get back at it. a Teal/Aqua with Mustard and Grey combo gets me every time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is green, any shade. I'm having my first girl any day now and I don't know how much pink she will be wearing, I'm just not drawn to it.

ReplyDeleteAmazing quilt! My favorite snack/drink is chocolate milk. Lots of people I know have a glass of wine or a beer to relax, but for me it's chocolate milk. I'm a 5 year old at heart.
ReplyDeleteHi! One of my favorite fabric lines is Hope Valley. I have a fat quarter bundle that I'm hoarding for the perfect project. I definitely need to use it while I still love it though!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colour is blue, my stash id full of it and I always use it in my projects. I love Fridays!! And I have a EPP project that is taking way too long, maybe it's time to retake it! Thank you
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YELLOW AND BLUE. BUT LATELY I HAVE BEEN REALLY ATTRACTED TO TURQUISE. I WANT TO TRY THE PATTERN YOU USED THIS FABRIC ON. I AM A FAIRLY NEW QUILTER AND HAVE DONE ONLY BABY QUILTS AND SMALLER SO I THINK A LAP QUILT IS THE LOGICAL NEXT STEP.
ReplyDeleteIf the dye lots are consistent (unlike Kona!), I'll be thrilled to use these fabrics frequently!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! Those colors are so striking! Right now my favorite day of the week is Sunday... everything for the past week has wrapped up, and we can get excited about all the things coming up in the next week. Plus my rancher husband lets us sleep in till 7:30 ( whoot whoot!)

My favorite WIP is 2" squares cut from my scraps that are going to be a lap quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have been quilting for only a few years, am retired and on a limited budget, but my favorite quilts to make are prayer, baby, and Baptism quilts for my church.
ReplyDeleteI've always said my favorite color is green. And it is... only EVERY quilt I make uses blue! I mean a really nice aqua. And I just can't get away from it. AND I don't have very much green in my stash at all. So maybe my favorite color is changing. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! Your quilt looks great, as always!
Favorite color right now is purple. Favorite day of the week is any day I get to spend quilting. Great quilt. Love the way the solids and prints play together.
ReplyDeleteI love the Nap like an Egytian quilt and it looks fabulous in those saturated colors. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteOh and my favorite color is aqua.

My favorite day of the week is Saturday morning. I love sleeping in (even though my kids get me up way too early!). My favorite WIP is Sunday Morning Quilts quilt, but doing it scappy, not low volume. It's turning out so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors!! Such a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: did you pre wash any of the fabrics? Do you used any thing special when you do wash them (or the finished quilt), like a color catcher sheet?
Thanks for sharing your work!
I love the colors in this quilt! It gives me some great ideas for some fabric I've been hoarding. My favorite color is blue.
ReplyDeleteCurrently working on UFOs -- my local quilt guild issued a challenge, and I has some "oldies" that I dug out! Several are "what was I thinking" projects that I'm finishing and donating to charit.
ReplyDeleteWhile I have a large stash of printed fabrics, I would love to have the solid fabrics, as I have very little!
I enjoy reading the blog!

Love the triangles! And the orange does add the perfect "pop". My favorite color (of the moment) is purple.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite day of the week is Saturday. It's the day I get to be at home alone, and I generally get to spend it sewing.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is stunning! I love those saturated colors. My favorite color was orange when I was in high school, then I liked blue better for a long time. Now orange is making a comeback! Happy Spring!
