I know this isn't the Zig Zag quilt, or the Red and White Quilt -A- Long quilt or even the log cabin blocks I said I was going to do. Sometimes when things aren't going like they should, I just tackle something totally different, something I can finish quickly, something I can get a boost of confidence from. Whipped this together from scraps of the Zig Zag quilt and some grosgrain ribbon I had in the drawer. Since my machine won't do free motion and I can't meander, I did some wandering. I think it's cute. Inspired me to make some pillow shams for my bed. It's too wintery in there...it needs some spring and a punch of color. Too much on my plate this week...like taxes...arrrrrrg. Back to it.

I love it - bright and cheerful. I know I need something every once in a while that's quick and you can get done without spending weeks on - keeps me from getting burned out. Very, very cute.
Sometimes focusing on something quick helps you move on to other projects ... feels good to get something done!
I love the pillow ... great colors!
