head in the clouds: part duex

I meant to get the CLOUD quilt, basted and the quilting started... 

and then I got side tracked...

Do you like it when you get sidetracked?

My pal Trudi sent me some made fabric pieces that she 

challenged me to make something with.

I had them laying on my cutting table,

staring at me...

I had an idea for hexagons and other odd shapes...(octagons), and already had a template drawn up, so I thought,

"What if I cut up what she sent me..."

and that was the rest of my day!

I made the light purple block first with her scraps that she sent,

and thought, " oh! that would make a nice pillow...."

LOL, 3 more blocks later...

PILLOW?  My Patootie!

It's a KING baby or go home!

So, this quilt is officially named my TRUDI quilt.

Today she inspired me, and off I went on a  little quilting adventure...

I guess I really do have my head in the clouds...

Hey! Pinch and a punch for the first of the month!

(and no returns!)

...what can I say, I have a ten year old in the house...

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for the drawing for AMY'S BOOK!
