It is finally here!
The excitement has been building on for months!
I think Nifty did a great job being the ringleader of this celebration. Wouldn't you agree?
I decided to make a small quilt and use up an old unfinished project.
I am so glad I did!
Now the question is, how is it going to be used?
It is only 12 inches wide
and
a mile long!
You would think as a table runner?
It is true to my style.
It is hand quilted with Perle cotton thread. My favorite!
It is wonky!
It lays flat but it's 'organic' and 'fluid' just the way I like it!
I had so much fun taking pictures of this quilt.
K suggested I should take on a job of a window displayer ( is that a word?)
In the hallway, with pillows from India!
K came home from school and asked, "Mom, are we getting a bit carried away? Who in the world lays pillows around in the hallway?"
She is right! I don't have those laying around on the floor.
Just today, for the pictures.
After few tries on where and how to use this long quilt, I found a perfect corner in the house!
Looks pretty artsy to me. It shows of it's curved binding very well.
This quilt got it's own special hanger.
It is made from a copper pipe wrapped with cotton rope. I tied extra rope at the end to make it look like a scroll.
All it look were two tiny holes at each end of the pipe to insert the hanger made of garden wire.
Pretty cool, right?
And, since I have taken so many pictures, I might as well share them with you!

I was not sure if there were any rules for this challenge so I took the liberty of using linen and used cotton dress for the zigzag.
I like to cut my binding 2 1/4" wide and for curvy edges I prefer bias binding.
Love how it snugs the edges.
Deb also talked about cutting up some long corduroyee food..
That gave me an idea!
If those project runway people can design cloths out of almost anything,
Why can't I?
So here it is.
A quilt made out of corduroy food!
Few strips of zucchini, carrots and celery on my cutting board,
and it was delicious!
Are you inspired?
