a minor miscalculation leads to love.

Yes, I was struggling with inspiration /mojo for quilting in general.

I can't say why exactly.

Last weekend,

I decided to start rummaging through my scraps of 30's.

I started quilting over 15 years ago collecting 30's..

so why not start there again.

(some of you may have seen these pics on instagram)

I pulled out some yellow and purples strips.

I was going to make a 7" block I think,

but I forgot to add seam allowances.

Doh!

I cut all the strips 1" instead of 1 1/2".

My block ended up 5" finished,

so I decided to make it a pincushion

and hand quilted it.

I love it.

It's a perfect mistake.

Now I just have to channel that inspiration to other projects!

How about you?

Got mojo for quilting right now?
