Are you working on the Color Palette Challenge? Here's the palette for February.
I finally got my project done.
It's supposed to be a Kindle case for my cousin. Unfortuantely my measurements were off and that's one reason I will not show you the inside! I will have to do this one again....hopefully this weekend. It's too bad too because I really like the way this looks. I used the dark purple for the piping and the lining. The feature panel was a sun print that I did this summer. I will make another, probably in the same colors.
Today I'm off to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival with my Mom and friend, Estelle. I entered my One a Whim and Star Struck quilts because I wanted to get some feedback to learn what I can do to improve my quilts. I was shocked yesterday to learn that Star Struck won and Honorable Mention ribbon!
Congrats!! Both on the ribbon and the pretty kindle cover. Love those sunprints!

Love the sun print and how you placed it. I noticed your great quilting motif. Sorry your cover didn't work out. Fantastic about your honorable mention!

Congratulations! Beautiful cover...can you use it for something else? A journal or something? I love the piping and the sun print.

The cover is beautiful. I hope you find something that will fit in it, mini legal pad or something. I had to make 2 to get one to fit for my neice too.
Congratulations on the honorable mention!!!

I am not surprised on the Honorable Mention - I thought your quilt was fabulous and that was just looking at it on a computer screen - I can only imagine how great it looked in person! :)
The cover you are showing above is very pretty and elegant yet quite organic looking. Very nice.

Hope the show was all you hoped it would be. I love this color palette. I have this daydream of using a magenta and lime in a quilt. :)

Congratulations on the Honorable Mention, Vicki! I did a search and found it on your blog back in September. Funny how it matches this month's color palette!

Great news on your Honorable Mention and a great kindle pouch....even if it needs to be resized!

I was so happy to see your quilts at the Mid-Atlantic...especially with a ribbon one one! Love the color palette project...would make a great journal cover if not a Kindle cover.

Congratulations! Very exciting and great job!

Love the sun print, such a shame that it doesn't fit the kindle, but hopefully you can make it into a journal cover or similar. Congrats on the Honorable mention, what a thrill!
