I am feeling so lucky. Just look at this gorgeous pillow sent to me by Dawn aka, guiltyquilter on flickr.
I just love aqua of any kind and she paired it with some bright oranges. Isn't that one of the best color combinations ever?
Here is a closer look. Check out the attention to detail. Hand stitching and fussy cutting. Wowsers!!
She also sent along some sweet extras. Thank you so much Dawn!!!
Here was my inspiration mosaic...
Here is a bunch of stuff that I love right now. I always have a soft spot for aqua and teal. There seems to be a theme of simple repetitive shapes, happy colors, and a touch of yellow-orange. Who knew?
