re-purposing

Some of you might remember this mini quilt inspired by the work of Yoshiko Jinzenji.

I made it a few months ago and as much as I like the way it turned out, I don't seem to have any use for mini quilts. There are piles of pillows and quilts all over our house and putting more quilts on the walls would be a total overkill. 

So, this poor mini spent the last couple of month sitting in my closet keeping a company to a few more projects that I made, liked, and yet didn't have any use for.

I finally fixed my dilemma this weekend. I cut off some parts of the mini to make it square and turned it into a pillow.

I love this penguin fabric and thought it would match the quilty front perfectly. 

I then installed the invisible zipper, which I'm very proud to say is really quite invisible, and that was it. Easy, peasy!

Phew, I feel so much better. I dislike clutter very, very much and having projects that are not being used is driving me crazy.

How about you? Do you make things that don't get used?
