Persimon Dreams Challenge 4: I need a vacation!

This is so true in my life this week.  I had grand intentions for what I would create.  Then a crazy work week and a crazy cold - that everyone told me was strep and turned out to be fever spots.  After crashing for two days this morning I joined the land of the living.  Remember the challenge I thought of my ultimate & favorite vacation destination.

I LOVE DISNEY!!

So I went thru the scrap bin and found things that would work. 

I found a scrap of dark blue that worked for the head.  Which I traced on freezer paper and machine appliqued down.  The I added the red and white polka dots - that always reminds me of Disney. 

I did some easy echo quilting around the head and straight lines in the borders.  Then I attached the binding flipping it to the front and using an antique stitch to tack it down.


The whole process took me two hours - so glad I was able to get one finished for the challenge.

This little mat ended up finishing at 12.5 x 10.5.

It will be a great addition to my wall at work.
