Starry Night pillowcases
I bought the entire bolt when I saw this fabric at Joann's - my mom is absolutely nutty for Starry Night stuff, so these are going to be her birthday gift (early December) and I will be using the rest to make throw pillows and some shopping totes and smaller zipper bags for her as her Christmas gift. I think she'll like it.

I've never made pillowcases before but I think they turned out pretty good! I want to make a bunch more - some will be for charity but also some for more family members for Christmas - I plan on using scraps from past quilts I've given to each person for the cuff and/or accent parts for their pillowcase(s), so they'll coordinate with gifts from last year & year before.
I made these with the "magic pillowcase" tutorial that's all over the place online. (I'm at work but I can scrounge up a link later if people want it. Almost every single pillowcase pattern/tutorial I found was this same pattern though, should be easy to find!)

I have ideas for fun variations too, I think I want to try doing one with prairie points in place of the accent color strip for my gran-in-law's gift. Her most recent quilt was in 30's repro fabrics so I think that'd be cute.
I'm also thinking of a flippable pillow - cotton on one side, flannel on the other...might be awesome, or might be a disaster! LOL
