Hello Friends! I have been sewing like a MAD woman, and wanted to share the finished goods with you! A little over a month a go I went fabric shopping with my boyfriend (no worries, we left still a couple!). :) The mission at hand was to pick "manly" fabrics for new custom pillows for his couches. I found Betz White's Stitch Organic print and used that as the base for all of the pillows. We methodically selected a handful of fabrics that coordinated with the Stitch Organic print and were soon enough on our merry way! I made a total of five pillows, with only two using the same pattern. All pillows are 18" square, and I machine quilted each pillow on my BabyLock.
I made another Tallahassee paper pieced pillow, just like I did for the Pillow Talk Swap! This time I used the same fabric for the background and flower middles, and really like how it turned out!
I used the Stitch Organic print for the backing of each pillow, and hid the zipper with a coordinating print.
It's no secret to my family and friends that I have fallen in LOVE with triangle pillows. I made two this go around, and really thought about keeping one for myself (shhh...don't tell my boyfriend!). :)
This is the second triangle pillow. They both coordinate, yet they're so different.
Last but not least, I modified the A Bunch of Crosses pillow pattern from the Pillow Pop book, to fit an 18" pillow form. You might remember that I made him a Simply Color Cross Quilt for Christmas last year; I love that this pillow echoes the same pattern.
All of the pillows lined up, and ready for their debut on his couch!
I had some leftover fabric and a little time (more fabric than time), and opted to make a quick fat quarter friendly quilt (Fantastic-O Fat Quarter Quilt, by my friend Gina Halladay).
I also added a little hand embroidery (I couldn't pass up the opportunity!).
