I'm so excited to share these pillows with you. Are you familiar with RJR Cotton Supreme Solids ? Thanks to Brenda and the RJR team, I was able to try them out, and I found them to be an excellent line of solids. 
The range of colors is immense, and the fabric has a lovely hand.
I felt a little overwhelmed when I was choosing colors, but I decided to go outside of my comfort zone. I started with Night-290 (which is less purple than the link), and promptly added Flamingo-338, Seafoam Green-301, Just Peachy-278, Cove-294, Denim-106, Arabian Nights-160, and Cinnamon-196.
I was in the mood for some half-square triangles (I used my favorite method. Using the leftover strips I cut to make the HSTs, I made a second simple pillow, which allowed for some free-motion quilting practice. 
I really love how these pillows turned out, and they've made a nice addition to our bedroom window seat!
And we have a little giveaway, thanks to RJR Fabrics! You can win a fat quarter bundle of the eight solids I chose.
(and please make sure you leave an email address, if you are a no-reply commenter!) and tell me about your current patchwork obsession. I've been wanting to make a lone star quilt for about a year now; maybe someday soon!
I'll pick a winner Monday morning.
Thanks for entering!
And if you're on facebook, check out this page, where you can easily follow along with the blog hop. There are lots of fun projects being made with the Supreme Solids!

ReplyDeleteI am collecting fabric to make a Mariners Compass. These would fit in nicely.

Oh I love lone stars--I made a double sided one last year and just sent it off to a quilt show. My current obsession is storm at sea, though I have yet to make a quilt from it.
ReplyDeleteHaven't ever considered making a solid anything, but after seeing what you've done, I wondered why not! Some beautiful things to look at and make.
ReplyDeleteI love working with solids .They seem to make the quilt look so fresh and clean. Right now I am using solids making a dancin' teapot quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your pillows and love RJR fabrics. I'm working on baby quilts at the moment. My first grandchild is due in June. I'm so excited and can hardly wait to see Lily Claire. Thanks for the giveaway.

your pillows are awesome, and I can see that Olias thinks so, too! i'm currently obsessing over flying geese and equilateral triangles!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Ooh! I love these solids. I've been taking a break from the patchwork while my life is in its current mess, but I'm dreaming of hexagons!
ReplyDeleteI finally finished a "box quilt" king size top and it's off to the longarm quilter. In the meantime I'm working on a mini tumbler charm quilt to pass the time before all that hand binding demands my attention.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try my hand at a all solid quilt.
ReplyDeletevery pretty. I've been stashing a lot of solids lately because I never thought to use them in the past. I've been obsessed with "no waste" flying geese lately!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! Happy to have found you via RJR's FB Page!
ReplyDeleteI still want to make the single girl quilt. AMH feathers are also on my list.
ReplyDeletelike the pillow and the cat. Reminds me of my cat Tuffy, she was a Russian Blue
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my first quilt along at Material Girl. I have become obsessed with solids and am going to try an all solid quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy current obsession is turning all of my scraps into HST's. They will eventually make their way into a scrap quilt of some sort. I love your striking pillows! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI prefer working with solids and I love your choices for your HST pillow! I really want to try a wonky log cabin in solids. A little obsessed with log cabins right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with Dresden plates right now. I'm heavily into one quilt and have others in my mind. I love solids! Your work is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the solids - the colors are deep and rich. I've made a Lonestar and it was fun. Just use tons of spray starch on your strip sets before you cut the diamonds so the bias edges won't stretch.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors I'm trying to finish a quilt that I Have start with a jelly roll
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and wanting to make a chevron quilt. I think this would make up really cute. Maybe for our new granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! I can think of lots of nice things to make with them :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to use these fabrics .. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteApparently, my obsession is fabric collecting. I have been working on a charm quilt with just 2 inch squares of which no two are alike. So far I have 816 squares in it. These solids would make a great addition, I put other pieces of the fabric into different patterned scrap quilts, that I donate for charitable events. I need to build my stash and finish that charm quilt. djnortonrules@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love fabric of all colors and designs, but you really need some solids in your stash to fill in with the prints
ReplyDeleteI love solids as they make everything pop. These are great deep colors that would be special in a child's quilt. nc78681@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteRight now I am into applique. I love all the applique that is added to a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have some of these they are very pretty
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with red and white. Love the contrast (plus red is my favourite colour). I really like your straight line quilting too.
ReplyDeleteI want to make a red,white and green Baltimore album style quilt and a Country Charmer quilt. I only need one more fabric for the Charmer so it will be the first one I tackle.
ReplyDeletethank you for the chance to win. I am working several quilts at the same time, I made some HST blocks for one quilt and some friendship star blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors that you used. It is always fun and interesting to move out of your comfort zone. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are lovely! I just finished a Swoon Quilt, and am currently working on a couple of charity quilts for kids using bright, cheerful fabrics. Trying to quilt them myself! carolann427@aol.com
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the solids.....great pillows.
ReplyDeletePaper pieced stars. Does that count? I have a whole bunch of patterns I've been collecting and I'm just itching to make one of each.
ReplyDeleteInspiring colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics-would make a georgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Peggy

I would love to win this bundle I have very little solid fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly new at quilting, but these beautiful colors give me inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI've not really ever used solids online for a quilt, so this would be a good time to give it a try and make a throw quilt! Thanks for such an amazing giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pillows turned out great. Love the fun quilting in the strip one.
ReplyDeleteBright colors always need a solid to even them all out. Would love to add to my growing stash of solids.
ReplyDeleteLove the almost cat pic, and of course the wonderful colorway of a great fabric line.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance

I love how the pillows are a kind of scrappy solid technique.
ReplyDeleteI love your pillows and the quilting on them is gorgeous! My latest obsession is making a paper pieced, or foundation pieced, quilt.
ReplyDeleteI think your pillows are beautiful and of course, good fabric helps!
ReplyDeleteforgot to put my email... mjclowe@bellsouth.net
ReplyDeleteRight now my obsession is minis. Gotta decorate my walls at work!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm obsessed with scrap quilts and playing with color. I noticed that your cat was successful in getting himself into the photo of the pillow he's planning to sleep on when you leave the room. Cats are just like that!

I've been on an English paper piecing kick lately. I really enjoyed making my last quilt top using EPP diamonds, so I decided to start on another similar project right away. I love the colors you chose for your bundle btw. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm always all about HSTs. I've actually got an all Anna Maria Horner HST top up on the design wall. I have yet to sew the top together, but from the looks of it, I already know this quilt will rank up there as being one of my all-time favorite quilts I've sewn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great color combo! And beautiful pillows!! I'm loving EPP lately since I'm not getting much sewing machine time these days. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the unusual color combo. Just shows that so many color schemes really do work. The HST design is great too. I would love some solid fabric-esp. this bundle. Thanks. Dian

ReplyDeleteSolids tie all things together or they're beautiful on their own. I love color! The more the better! Color makes the world wonderful and I would love to try the RJR Cotton Supreme Solids to color my world!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely colour combination. I'm working on a string quilt for my brother & his wife at the moment, and I guess you could call it an obsession in that it's all I'm sewing, but gosh I wish it would hurry up!
ReplyDeleteI am patching together a quilt (with my son's future mother-in-law) for the son and future DIL as a wedding present. I am doing 5 rows, she is doing 5 rows and then the two sections will meet. We are using teals, corals, grey and white per the bride's request. I have a SLEW of other things I am not working on so this can get done.
ReplyDeleteThese colors are "right up my alley". I tend to like the more pale tones when it comes to buying fabrics. I have a couple of projects going but would love to have these colors to start a new one. Fabrics are just wonderful -- no matter what the colors are! They are what "dreams" are made of. Nancy B. (nbowers@ellijay.com)
ReplyDeleteI really love your color selection. I have a hard time putting colors together without being boring. I also have a lone star quilt on my to do list. I have a son & his family in Texas. I love the projects done in all solids! vicki.gibson58@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove your cushions! And my patchwork obsession revolves around 4 and 9 patches - sooooo many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI'dlove to win these fabrics! Working right now on an hourglass baby quilt for 3month old grandson Hudson!
