A New Challenge

I found a new challenge (new to me) by reading a couple of blogs this week. 
Apparently this is season 8 of the challenge...I'm glad I finally found it! 
It is hosted by Persimmon Dreams and the theme for the first challenge is: 
Eight is Great!
The challenge must be completed in 1 week. This challenge was announced on January 1st and therefore must be complete and posted by January 8th at noon. 
I think I'm just in the nick of time...not much room to spare. 
I wasn't sure if I would participate since I have so many projects going right now but I love a challenge so....
Gr8 is a pillow/cushion. It is 24" square. 
I pieced the G and R and paper pieced the 8 using a navy pin dot fabric from my stash and some Kona. The pillow form has been in my quilting room for quite some time. Feeling good about using things I have. 
I hope this year is a GR8 year!

  4. Finishing old projects is overrated! PQ is such a great way to flex the ol' creative muscles and refresh. Nice project!
