So I made my pillow! A gift from me, to me.
This quilt (that I turned into a pillow) design is by Melissa from Happy Quilting as part of her Roundabout QAL. I've played along with many of Melissa's QALs - her directions are great and I love her designs.
I downsized everything, even doing those drunkard path blocks by hand. The fabric is from a Moda line designed by Amy Ellis. I quilted organic wavy lines with my walking foot.
My quilted pillow front measured 18 1/2 x 18 1/2 '' and I stuffed a 20 x 20 '' pillow form inside. I put a zipper in the back using my tutorial. I love the way it looks on the back.
Melissa is posting a parade today of other Roundabout finishes - make sure you stop by and visit!
I'll be linking up my pillow with Freemotion by the River, WIP Wednesday's, Let's Bee Social, Midweek Makers. Needle and Thread Thursdays, Finish it Up Friday and Finished or Not Friday (here).
Have a wonderful day! Patty
Oh, Patty, it’s absolutely gorgeous! I’m so inspired!
ReplyDeleteThe wavy quilting sets it off nicely and it looks like a wonderfully fluffy pillow. It always feels a bit extra special to make something we can keep for ourselves. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job Patty. Lovely pillow. #CreativeGoodness
