2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge Radiant Orchid - I won!

Its been an awesome quilty day for me today :-). First I saw this beautiful pincushion all the way from Norway in the mail from Anita@ Quilt in a not-shell

Cute little it pin cushion -from Anita in Norway!
My husband was like you got a mail from Norway. You could see a big smile beaming on my face :-). It was pretty special! Handmade things always stay close to my heart.
Isn't that label with the kitty so cute too!
Couple of hours later I got an email from Adrianne @ On the Windy Side that I won 2nd prize on the "2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge - Radiant Orchid" for "Quilt top" category. Isn't that awesome!
StarBurst Quilt Top - 2nd prize in the quilt top category
I might change the name by the time this quilt is done though ;).
This has been my favorite quilty day ever!

Happy Quilting All!
Hema (a.k.a Malini)
P.S: I promise next time you hear from me about this quilt, the quilt will be all finished with binding ;).
