Really happy to finish this one.  Here is the strange story of how this one came about.  I bought a quilt kit on Craftsy a while ago for the pixelated eye. Not to make the eye quilt but because it was on sale and there was lots of Kona fabric in the kit. I got the kit and sat on it while I designed this simple "eye" quilt on graft paper using up some scraps and using the big piece of Kona Snow that came in the kit. I cut this all out and sewed it together and I had a ton of fabric left in the kit. I decided to go ahead and make the pixel quilt anyway.  The back of my designed "eye" is the pixel eye!! And then guess what? I still have a bunch of Kona Snow left from the kit so I have already cut it up and sewed into another whole quilt. That one I hope to finish soon. But wait, there is more...I still have Kona Snow left.  It is almost a yard and I am sure I will find something to do with it.  Let me just say this was a really good bargain. ...

Last Saturday one of my guilds had a sew along for wonky houses. I wanted to do it because improv is so fun for me. It was a great afternoon and was able to make one full house and start on another. This week I put the rest of them together. It was really fun. Not sure how great overall this is but it was a good time and I am sure someone will love to snuggle under it.  Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict  Can I get a whoop whoop and Crazy Mom Quilts  with Amanda Jean

Project Quilting challenge this week was thread. I found this cute Cori Dantini print and decided to go for the fmqing and not stop until I was done no matter how awful my stitches were. Yep, they are not the greatest but I kept at it. I tried several fillers and just kept going.  Made in Ne. approx 24" x 30" Linking up with Persimmon dreams PQ challenge  Here voting will be linked up later today for voting all week long.  VOTE HERE  until noon on friday 12th of Feb.

  Not quite sure what I am doing with this improv swirl piece.  I was just so excited that I could improv it around and around. I made it to a size I thought was big enough and then wanted to sort of swirl out  of it. It reminds me of a fabric corsage. :) I think this is the better direction but I have to set it aside and stew on a it a bit. Any comments or ideas are welcome...finish as is ?  For now I am just pleased it lays almost flat!!  linking up with WIP Wed. over at  Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee Social over at  Sew Fresh Quilts
