Cute owls!

So I am still working on the Perfect 10 quilt.  I've got the top 2/3 totally pieced together and done.  I just need to finish the bottom 1/3 but I haven't had time this week.  I did get out to the LQS today during a sale to pick up the fabric for the border. I got a dark brown with small white polka dots.  It matches the dark brown fabrics and I think it's neutral enough that it won't overwhelm the rest of the quilt. I hope it looks okay. I will try to get some pics up soon.

But for the last couple of days, I can't stop thinking about owls!  These owls, to be specific, from Pottery Barn:

Aren't they adorable?  I first spotted these owls in the catalog some time ago and I just think they are too cute.  I don't want to pay $25 dollars for one, but they have inspired me to think about trying to design my own version of one for my daughter.  I like the smaller owl the best and so I am inspired to try to create one in a similar style.

I have some corduroy I picked up at Joanns recently and I'm thinking I might use some to try to make this little owl. I love the idea of being able to pull some really cute fabrics from my stash to dress it up and coordinate it with my daughter's room.

I really don't need another project, but I have a feeling I won't be able to resist trying out one of these owls sometime soon!
