I’ve turned to my modest stack of layer cakes, aka 10” squares to get them used up and into quilts. This one is a stack of 14 bought from Connecting Threads several years ago. Inside were 16 squares! This is a Rashida Coleman Hale line by Cotton & Steel supplemented with a few solids.

The impetus for making this quilt is twofold: first, way back in April I made a mental note of the block Yvonne Quilting Jetgirl made for a charity quilt block drive she is a part of, and two, I needed something mindless, fast and satisfying to sew after all the work, mental and sewing, put into the release of my latest pattern, Diamond Baby.

Woot! Woot!

I WON I WON I WON!!!

On one of my favourite blogs I follow, and a favourite online quilt shop where I have helped clear some shelf space this winter, was a final giveaway of her year of giveaways.  This is Christa Quilts! a blog I've mentioned a few times over the past few months.  She had 14 prizes!!!  I was winner #3 (3 is my favourite number, and my birthdate) and I won a Kona solids layercake! I am SO EXCITED about this, as it's my first win, and I have entered a LOT of giveaways over this winter, all to no avail.

Last night I dreamed this!  In my dream I was telling someone that I never win these blogger giveaways, and I finally won someone's but it was a prize I didn't want.  LOL!!  This is most definitely a prize I DO want!!  I've noticed, in my discovery of Modern Quilting this winter, how the use of solids has become very popular.  I have, like none.  So thanks to Christa's great deals on Kona solids with her old online store (she's now moved to selling precuts through Amazon.com) I have been able to gather, a few a lot of solids:

Confession:  I have a few more coming from her store in the mail!
