I have been trying to complete some of the unfinished projects setting on my sewing table. I started by finishing these pillow covers for one of my sons…..
I took four small printed panels and attached them together with a strip of fabric between them.
I then backed them with batting, and a piece of muslin, and machine quilted around the edges, and around the printed circle. There were a total of eight panels, so I made two of them. My son is an outdoorsman, so he was pretty excited (OK maybe excited is a little strong!) pleased to get these pillow covers. I just did an overlapped opening on the back side to slip in the pillow form in.
I also did another patchwork pillow…
You might recognize the fabrics. I used them to make this pillow….
This pillow I hand quilted lines down and across each of the blocks. I absolutely love the colors in these fabrics!
The pillow that I just completed, I machine sewed around each of the blocks.
I also did an overlapped backing that I could just insert a pillow form in on this one as well…
The brown and blues are so vibrant in this fabric! Now I have to decide if I can let it go, and list it in my Etsy shop!
Just a few more unfinished projects to go! Take care, and thanks so much for stopping by!
