It's the second Tuesday of December, and the Scraptastic Tuesday monthly link is open. Can you believe it, the last Scraptastic Tuesday for this year, but don't worry, Nicky and I have a lot more scraps so we will be here for next year, we hope you will keep joining us too.
First, I have a couple of small updates. If you visit here often, you have already seen my Ta Da post for Imp. I have been showing off my progress on Imp for Scraptastic Tuesday for a while, so it only seems fair to show here all done here as well. In fact I love this quilt so much I could show it off every day but I will try not to do keep doing that.
And this holiday pillow is another scrappy project. I had these Violet Craft fabrics set aside to make napkins so I cut out the fabric for 10 new napkins. My plan was to use the leftover scraps to make a holiday paper pieced pillow using Violet's pine cone pattern. So far, I have the pillow top done, at 18" square.
I really like this pillow with this smooth dramatic look so right now I am leaning towards no quilting. I do need to do something to secure all those paper pieced seams and Krista (@poppyprint) suggested on instagram that I use fusible fleece backing which is brilliant. I can quilt it then if I like but if not all those seams will be secured and tidy. Now I just need to shop and maybe I can share the finished pillow next week. By the way, there is the #christmascusionalong on instagram that I joined as well and you can too.

Congrats on a finished Imp! And after seeing so many lovely pillows in blog land I think I need to make pillows my next scrappy project.
Hi Leanne! First, I really love your Imp quilt! I have to make quilt or pillow inspired by this! Great idea to use fusible fleece for the pillow if you don't like to quilt it. Paper pieced pine cone is so perfect! Thank you again for the party and I'm happy to hear we continue next year! How this 'second tuesday' comes to me always surprise! At the end of the month I think when the scraptastic tuesday will be and then suddenly it is! x Teje

Fusible fleece is a really good solution for the pine cone cushion! And thanks for mentioning the #Christmascushionalong!
Your quilt is stunning! The composition and quilting is simply gorgeous. I've never seen anything like it! I'm in love :)
I vote for leaving the cushion unquilted. It looks gorgeous as is, so I've move on to the next project and enjoy your finished cushion!
LOVE Imp! I'm happy to see her any time you want to show her off!
That pine cone is so cute! What a fun holiday cushion!
Love your quilt and thank you for the giveaway!!!
#scraptastictuesday I love seeing all the projects with so many colors~ Alas, mine is only 2 colors as they were leftovers from a bed size quilt~ The pine cone is adorable! And looking forward to browsing more of yours and your partners sites. Thank you so much! quiltlovefordomesticfelicity(at)gmail(dot)com

I agree with Debbie, you can show off Imp a much as you like. I just love the many quilting motifs and design! Well done! Thanks for the scrappy party link up!
I can't say it enough: I am over the moon for Imp! And as for your pillow, I agree that fusible fleece is the way to go. It will give your cover some nice substance.
