Our guild is officially two years old. We had a challenge to use the Alexander Henry umbrella fabric in a 16" pillow (to swap or not-your choice).
I couldn't make it to the sew-in/meeting this month because I had a very important birthday party to attend (my adorable granddaughter turned 2!). My pillow was a little closer to an 18" pillow. I paper pieced the NY Beauty block and then I quilted the front and the back. It finishes with an envelope closure and I put binding all the way around. Someday I would like to learn how to do piping.
My attempt at paisley a la Leah Day. It improved by the end. |
Back of pillow- I quilted little twirls all over. Also added some binding to the envelope edge. |
Pop! |
I decided to keep it. :)
