This Monday is somewhat reminiscent of last Monday. I sort of have something mini quilt-like, but not really. I'm OK with that because the point of Mini Quilt Monday was to spur me on to try new things and I think I have. Just, sometimes the trials don't necessarily lead to a final product that can be specifically defined as a mini quilt.
But, before I get into describing my non-mini quilt, I first want to thank you all for participating in the giveaway and announce our winner:
Two Dogs and a Quilt said...The quilt is gorgeous! I love the subtle earthy colors. Nice that your daughter...
Congratulations! Please email me at malka@stitchindye.com with your address and I'll get your DVD to you super quick-like.
OK, back to the regular programming.
I made a floor pillow! I've been thinking about this for a long time and I decided that this was the week to craft a floor pillow. When I was a kid, we had a bunch of floor pillows in our living room. We never sat on the couch to watch TV or read a book. We always got cozy with one or two large scale pillows. Whenever I mention that we need a few floor pillows, my kids give me quizzical looks and mutter,huh? I don't understand how they've made it this far in life without the pleasure of sprawling out on the floor with a squishy pillow. Even as I write this the pillow has already migrated to the sofa. I might have to make a stack of these before my family gets the point, but I'm determined to bring back the floor pillow as a viable seating option.

Hah! I really had to laugh at the idea that it ended up on the sofa! Never fear. They will learn.
And... if the idea of mini quilt monday was to spur creativity and try new things.. it WORKS! . It does , in fact, achieve its' goal. So...?
Mazeltov! (and I really like the floor pillow a lot too!)
I really like the floor pillow - the idea and the execution!
How big is it?
Unreal Malka as always!

Great! Love the idea of a floor pillow! Persevere, they will get it eventually! Great colors!
I adore the pillow. Lovely!
Is it fiberfill or straight up foam? Now I'm just curious.
Yes, I'm also curius what is inside the lovely floor pillow. I love purples and oranges together!!
Oh, how exciting! I love the floor pillow too.
LOVE the floor pillow.
Our living room has couches covered in cushions, bean bags, floor cushions, quilts, you name it.
Just one big comfy room of fabrics and softness.
Despite all this, my 3 year old daughter fell asleep yesterday afternoon on the floor!! No cushions at all. Just the hard floor. Go figure!!

The floor pillow is awesome! I love the colours and pattern of it, too. just wish that IT was a giveaway!!! haha : ) great work, thanks for sharing!
Love your 'floor pillow';) I had to laugh...Right now I'm sitting on the floor and there's a sofa and three chairs in the room with no one sitting on them...I think I need a floor pillow;)
I LOVE it!!! What a great idea. But just one question. How do you keep your floors sooooo clean with kids! LOL
Oh the floor pillow is so wonderful - we have floor pillows but none as beautiful as that one. Ours are used as fort walls or beds and yes, for watching tv too.
You have such a good eye for color.
Also, I'm the one with the son doing Renegade. He did fabulous and had a great time. Thanks for your suggestions!
