I finished my pillow top for The Pillow Talk Swap, and I really hope my partner likes it!
I alternated Bright Hopes blocks: a print center surrounded by gray strips and gray centers surrounded by strips pieced with prints.I used the same pattern as the one I used for this 16" mini quilt top:
Pillow Talk Swap 3 has been a blast and so inspirational! Definitely check out the flickr group if you haven't already!
With wishes, true and kind -- Joan
Thanks for explaining and showing how you made your pillow. I love yours (so elegant) and I'm sure your swap partner will too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tutorial! I get it, I get it! Yay! Your pillow is so gorgeous - your partner is quite lucky. I love the combination of black and grey fabrics. And I love the way you alternated the fabrics for the blocks. Oh yeah, I love that you didn't fussy cut the center square, especially since this is a partial seam block. Totally want to make this now!
ReplyDeleteit is fabulous. If she does not like it, send it my way. Your color choices are great!
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is just beautiful!! If she doesn't like it... hmmm... LOL!! Great job on your first tutorial. I just really love partial seams.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see partial seams explained so clearly. I've done this with quilt borders but was really flying by the seat of my pants - it's great to see that my instincts weren't too far off! Beautiful beautiful pillow. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLoving the yellow and the gray. I have been refraining from purchasing some that has been calling to me until I get caught up enough to justify it!!! ;0) Great job with the tute! Never done partial seams, but I am willing to try!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Great tutorial! It is easy peasy (lemon squeezy) & looks fantastic. The whole piloow looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteJoan,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! I am definitely going to make this block with partial seams.
Your tutorial is perfect!
That pillow is beautiful! I would be shocked if they did not like it.
ReplyDeleteWow, that pillow is spectacular. Those greens just pop against that charcoal grey. And what a great job on the tutorial!
