It felt like kismet yesterday when I arrived home after a foray of a local craft store where I purchased a quilt square die and then opened up the current challenge at "Color Throwdown #690" featuring a quilted pillow - it was meant to be!
The die I used was Momenta #2046076 and scraps from my stash in navy, gray, mustard, and a blue small print. The sentiment is one I use frequently that I've had for years, and I stamped it with PTI "Enchanted Evening" die ink. I mounted the quilt square to the face of a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" folded card and layered a frame over that with dimensional foam. Light is low today, and I had a very hard time getting the navy to show as navy and not black. Also, by having to manipulate the colors to get navy, the mustard changed to more of an ochre - oh well, you get the idea!

Oh my...this is so gorgeous and so perfect with the throwdown colors! It takes me back to when my mom and grandma were avid quilters. Now...I only carry on the quilting tradition on paper. Thanks so much for joining us at CTD!
