I’m so excited about today’s post! RJR asked me to be a part of their What Shade are You blog hop, and I was able to choose a variety of their Cotton Supreme Solids to work with and give away. I picked a variety of melon, pink, and violet shades with some creamy whites mixed in....
I’m so ready for 2013. I think my new flooring really got me in the spirit of making things around here ‘new and fresh’. With that little change has come a spark that is quickly growing into a need to revamp my outlook for this new year. I’m ready for a fresh start in so...

Wow!! What a lovely quilt! Definitely a lot of work went into it!!
My pattern would be, a BIG Dresden plate–or several, for a wall-hanging. They are so beautiful I want to see the colors every day in my sewing place.
Oh those colors are so pretty, but I have no idea what I would make!
Lovely colour palette, maybe spring pillows to freshen up after winter. r
id love to make some bloomin QAYG pillows!
i’m in awe of your quilt! so so gorgeous! i haven’t worked with the rjr solids and am itching to try them. thanks for the chance!
yay! rjr!! (ps. not an entry just wanted to say hi!)
Beautiful quilt. I would make a quillow. Thank you for the chance.
I’m not sure what I’d make with them, but purple is my favorite color so they would definitely not sit on a shelf! Love the quilt you made with them!
Your quilt is lovely! The vintage one begs to be touched, it looks so soft.
I do love those colors but I’m not sure if I would make a quilt or a few bags maybe just look at them awhile ;)
Thank you!!!
I am working on an applique quilt and these colors would make some beautiful flowers. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would make a quilt for either my 15 year old g-daughter or 12 yr old g-son depending on what the colors tell me. And I would definitely look forward to working with these fabrics. They sound superb!

I would have to make a quilt with these beautiful fabrics. They are my favorite colors.
This is so inspiring! Love your color choices. There’s a little nook in the house we are going to buy that needs a quilt with colors like these!
My husband’s niece would love those colors, so I would make a throw quilt for her bedroom. Thanks.
lovely palette indeed. i think these would make a good picnic blanket…(in addition to a few others!) im jumping the gun bc its feels like -2 outside…but working with these colors would add cheer to the dreary days! thanks for a chance…i adore your quilt..cant wait to see the hand quilting
Love it! I would a quilt of course!
Well done with your quilt! Love your fabric choice and shades!!! Me…well I would make a quilt but I am going in the small rather than bed size these daze (yup me in a daze)…I like the challenge of miniquilts!
I would like to make som spring pillows for our sofa.
Very pretty color pallet! I’d probably mix them with that same AMH print! I need to make a weekender bag. Maybe some of these will go into that. ;)
I’d use them for a quilt I’m working on – for a friend’s baby!
What a group of yummy solids! I would add them to the Heather Ross Briar Rose/FFA quilt I’m making for my daughter, or use them in my next AMH quilt I’m planning! Solids are so useful!
Beautiful project! I’d probably mix the solids with the Cotton & Steel Basics roll for a quilt.
I would use these along with other fabrics that I have to make a birthday/graduation quilt as a gift for my sister! She loves spring colors!
that quilt is amazing! I don’t think I would have the patience to sew all those 1 inch strips together! I would love some fabric for new pillows for my couch, or maybe a color blocked spring dress!
I’d go for a kaleidoscope quilt. Love the colors!
Your quilt is beautiful:) I’m working on a single Irish chain quilt with Liberty. I love all your Liberty projects as well! If I won – I would definetly try to recreate a quilt like yours… I love your work:)
Probably something for one of the three swaps that I signed up for!
What a pretty bundle. Seems like there’s a lot of solid bundles going on today in my feed reader! I’d use this bundle for a couple fun patchwork zipper bags I sketched up the other day. The more I think about it the neater they’d look with solids instead of prints since they’re such a small scale!
Love these colors and awesome job on the quilt
Pretty quilt. I would make a scrappy quilt.
Wonderful quilt, great colors, I would make a quilt.
I would make a quilt with this pretty bundle of fabrics.
I have a purple quilt I’m just planning to start. I could use these. They are beautiful. Thanks for a great giveaway. I’ve also shared your giveaway on my Giveaway List for sewers & quilters at wowilikethat.com. Thanks again.
I’d use it in a ballerina quilt I’m making.
i would use these beautiful fabrics to make a baby quilt for my daughter.
very nice quilt ty for sharing your idea…..I would make a very nice tote for my self and my daughter…..happyness04431@yahoo.com
Your quilt is gorgeous! I would actually love to try something like that, though I would have to use bigger blocks since my accuracy is not good enough to get down to 1 inch!

I’d make some patchwork placemats and tablerunner for spring! Your quilt is so lovely! love the colors.
I would gift it to a friend and let her decide (though I’m guessing she’d make a quilt!)!
I love this quilt- such a beautiful overall effect! I would love to use these in a spring mini quilt! Thanks for sharing and so happy I found your site!
This bundle is sooooo pretty! I loved your coordinating prints bundle too- and what a stunning quilt! I’d make a quilt of course, not sure what design yet. I love how you said fast quilts aren’t your thing- what a fresh approach and one that I just might have to adopt! I just finished my first baby quilt and it took forever because I had to make sure I was in love with every aspect- even if that meant redoing things I’d already had done!
I have an idea for a design to be made with solids only. These may work. Otherwise, they’ll be used mixed with prints for other projects. I do appreciate solids.
Maybe something to pass own to my daughter one day… but no clue what!
I might make some pillows or pillow cases. Thanks so much! God bless!
Use them in a quilt, thanks
Thank you for hosting the giveaway, I would make a quilt for my niece.
I would make a small wall quilt to cover the fuse box that is on the kitchen wall.
Those are my favorite colors. I’m not sure what I would use them for. Need to feel fabric for it to tell me what it wants to be.
I just love the subtle low volume prints and solids. I need a new throw pillow and this would be perfect!
Lovely colors! I’d love to make a pillow with the fabric.
Quilt! Thanks for a chance to win.
Something simple & elegant. Maybe patchwork twirley skirts for my daughter and nieces.
Purple is right up there in my favorite colors. I like your quilt. I’m not sure what pattern I would use. I have lots of flowers so maybe I would add it to those and do a Drunkards Path butterfly quilt.
We are making tote bags in our “craft class” and I need some solids to accent my patterned fabric. This would be perfect xx
I would put it in a purse or embroidered baby blanket
Hi, I would make something for my twin. 2-yr-old granddaughters. Very pretty colors. Thanks for the giveaway. :)

Very nice! I would use it for dolls and stuffed toys that I’m sewing for our foster care closet. Thanks for the chance! :)
I would begin my second quilt!
I am just finishing a baby quilt and my daughter is after me to make one for her. These colors are lovely and would lend themselves to several patterns i have been wanting to try. Hmmmm. You have me pondering now…………
I would use these for a baby quilt for a new niece that ‘s coming along.
I would love to add them to an upcoming baby quilt.

I need to be frequenting your blog, and I’m not! I didn’t know you mostly hand quilt, but I’m excited to poke around your blog and check that out. I’m in a hand sewing class right now, and I hope to start doing much more hand quilting.
I’ve never made a triangle quilt. If I won your bundle, I think I’d like to give that a try. I think I’m ready to take on all the points! (Autocorrect just tried to insert “loins”… that would’ve been a big whoopsie.)
I would make a quillow. Love your quilt. Thank you for the chance.
I’m just getting started with quilting, so these would probably end up in an early project.
Love the quilts, beautiful work
Stunning quilt! I’ve been wanting to do some sewing for my daughter’s room, this palette would be perfect. Maybe some big floor pillows (if I start now, they might be ready when she’s old enough to enjoy them)
Your quilt is AWESOME!! These fabrics are Beautiful…loooove them!!
Would definitely use these in a Quilt..not sure Pattern tho. Thanks for chance to win them! :)
I’d definitely make a quilt! Maybe simple patchwork squares to show off those colors :)
My granddaughter could use a new quilt.
I would use them with prints and make some totes.
I would like to make some new pillows.
Plethora! I love a woman with a vocabulary! If I won this fabric, I think I’d use it to make a modern quilt that was connected to the idea of butterflies. It’s been roaming around my brain today and these fabrics would be perfect! Thanks for the chance to win.
Lovely quilt! I’d use the solids bo make a quilt for either a friend or for donation.
Beautiful quilt! I would make a table topper.
Beautiful quilts!!! I would definitely make a quilt… And those tiny postage stamps are inspiring, don’t know if I could make them so perfect though but it is inspiring!
Your color palette is so Spring and you got me ready too…I found myself throwing my fabric stash all over my furniture yesterday to see what I need to “cheer” up my winter blues. Thank you for your inspiration.
I’d have to make a table runner, pillows and chair pads w/this bundle. Thank you so much!
I would use them in a quilt that I am making for my great grand daughter. These are her favorite colors

Love your quilt!!! Love how it looks pixelated! Beautiful colours too!!! I am making my niece a quilt for Christmas this year and those colours look like they would work to add to the prints I’ve choosen!!! Thanks for the chance!!!!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work & inspiration and the yummy giveaway opportunity!
You put together a beautiful bundle, heavy on my favorite color – purple! I would match it up with purple prints from my stash and make a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win! jacklynnsteven at netzero dot com
