I Am Still Dazed

I was running errands yesterday when I came home and saw emails from my friends in my mailbox about the Pantone Quilt Challange. I was completely clueless as I went through the emails that talked about my having won. Right after that I saw the wonderful email from Anne telling me that I not only won but got first place!!

I made the quilt for my little kitty cat and entered it in the Pantone Quilt Challenge to share with others and have a little fun. Two very nice ladies – Adrianne @ On The Windy Side and Anne @ Play Crafts arranged this fabulous event! That’s a lot of hard work, believe me! There were some seriously beautiful quilts entered in the challenge, and not for one moment had I thought that I had any chance of winning. I was already very happy with all the wonderful comments I received on that quilt.

I entered mine in the Finished minis category which was judged by Elizabeth Dackson @ Don’t Call Me Betsy. Now I get to have fun shopping at Fat Quarter Shop, one of my favorite online quilt stores. Thank you all so very much for everything, you have no idea how much this means to me. You have made me an extremely happy camper!!

Thank you!!

Union Jack Pillow

I really really wanted an Union Jack pillow, that’s the first thing I really wanted to make. Yes, there are a lot of “really”-s in that sentence, that’s how badly I wanted one!

I made two patterns for the Union Jack. Actually, this is how I started making paper piecing patterns. Guess what I made with the 10″ x 10″ square block pattern? Not a pillow. I made a small quilt for my kitties. That was the very first quilt I ever made too.

Then my husband came in the picture. “What? I don’t get one?” All right, off I went again. I made 20 paper pieced squares to make a quilt for him – my very first lap quilt.

After that, on special request, I made another rectangular Union Jack pattern that is true to the proportions of the flag. Then I finally got a 12″ x 16″ pillow form. Since the pattern is 8″ x 16″, I enlarged the pattern a little so the width would be 17″ to allow for 0.5″ seam allowance. Then I added strips on the top and bottom of the block and the pillow top was done.

So I finally I have my Union Jack pillow – my very first quilted pillow. Looks like a lot of “very first” happened around that specific design. Can you blame me? It’s symmetrical, bright, quick to sew and with paper piecing I get perfect points every time. I wonder when I will get the next bug to make something with this pattern again. A bag, perhaps?

Both of the Union Jack patterns are available individually in my Shop.
