coordinating pillow ideas?
I have some leftover fabric from making a twin sized quilt for someone (by request) and thought it would be nice to make a pillow or something with the leftover fabric. Does anyone have ideas?
I have a bunch (36?) of little HSTs that I got for free when I snowballed the corners for the bowtie blocks, they are half black and half white Architextures fabric. I also have lots of the purple small print ECU fabric, 1/2 yard or more of the black Architextures, and 1/8+ yards of the rest of the fabrics. The only one I don't have much of is the large print yellow and purple one because I had to do a lot of fussy cutting, but I am sure I could probably pull out a few more small blocks from it, or even just go buy some more.
Sorry I don't have a photo of my quilt top... I dropped it off for quilting without taking any pictures of the completed top. See below for the quilt pattern and fabrics, and you can get an idea of it. And here are a few photos of the blocks in progress so you can see the fabrics I used. The final borders aren't pictured here... there is a solid purple outer border, the inner borders are the black crosshatch and solid yellow you see in one photo.
I used this pattern:

I'd be tempted to make a pillowcase using the Magic Pillowcase technique, which I love. Are you familiar with that? It uses three pieces of fabric: body, accent strip, and cuff. The three pieces are all cut wof, then stacked in a specific way, sewn with a seam, and resulting tube is turned inside out.
Lovely quilt, btw!
