Cotton and Steel Mini Quilt Swap

by Nicole

A few months ago, I signed up for the IG Cotton and Steel Mini Quilt Swap. The June deadline seemed so far away at the time. Now it’s almost here, I’m buckling down to get the mini quilt done.

I pulled fabrics mostly from the Mochi line by Rashida Coleman-Hale, with a few other prints from different C + S collections.

I went back and forth with what to do with them, but decided on the Japanese X and + quilt block. I’m using the tutorial posted by badskirt. It’s perfect for a mini as the blocks finish at 7.5″ squares.

I’ve got the blocks laid out and ready for stitching!

These are really fun blocks, but then again, I don't think you can go wrong with RCH fabrics – they are so great! Thanks for the link!

Beautiful, Nicole! I was wondering if your blocks were the same size as the tutorial, and I see they are!

I think you are one of the first people to use the C&S line in a creative and beautiful way. Your blocks are lovely and have such a nice contrast and layout. I signed up for two more swaps this week (do I need my head examined?), but the deadlines aren't until this fall. I have tons of time. . . right?
