Antaeotricha leucillana
Family: Elachistidae (Grass Miner Moths) Subfamily: Stenomatinae. 1/2 inch long (12.7 mm) white with blue.. Looks like rolled up Native American Indian design blanket. To the naked eye looks like bird poop.
On the house. Attracted to light.

Thanks J for the ID. No wonder I couldn't find it in the Peterson's book. It isn't there. I love this tiny moth!
Beautiful! Closest match I could find, Pale Gray Bird Dropping Moth, Antaeotricha leucillana:
