While I was in the middle of hosting my Soccer Mom series I needed a mindless project one Sunday afternoon so I dumped out all of my scraps triangles that were cut off from my Herringbone quilt blocks and stitched them up into pillows.
The pretty pillow my sister made me y goes perfectly with them.
What happened to the quilt? you might be thinking. Well, it's not quilted yet. I tend to have machine quilting problems and I just couldn't quite face it, so it is sitting in my unfinished projects box. And then I got to thinking all those bright colors just might be a little too crazy for my bed. I was walking through Target and spotted this lovely soft muted purple quilt for just $35 and I knew this would work better. Don't worry I will still be finishing and using that beautiful Herringbone.
The pillow top is quilted along the seam lines and I tried out a button closure on the back. It's not perfect but it works and I am happy my buttonholes turned out.
I have a couple of more pillow ideas floating around in my head. Here's to hoping to get to them soon!
Wow - they are adorable pillows! I love the way the scrappy blocks look, with the angles. Very very cool!
ReplyDeleteI really like this look! The bedspread is the perfect foil for the scrappy pillows which are gorgeous.
