PILLOW TALK
My motto: You can never have enough pillows. Or maybe I should say I cannot stop making pillows because I love making quilt blocks. I peruse books, magazine, look at blogs, and search quilting websites to find new ideas for quilt blocks. Once I find a interesting pattern, I dash to my sewing machine to try to replicate it. But usually, I stop at one block which then becomes another pillow top.
Here is my newest addition to my pillow collection.
I found this block pattern on McCallsquilting.com, called "40 Shades of Green". Instead of different shades of green, I chose to use one of my charm packs with bright, primary colors. Normally, I avoid appliqué, because it's a stressful experience for me. But I enjoyed creating this block. Maybe I will make another using just one color, as the original block pattern suggested.
What's one more pillow!
