Love your pillow. You might like to check out the tutorials on this list--I believe there is one for making these by machine--which is faster, of course.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I hand pressed, then ironed the edge allowances, then pressed and basted the first fold. I machine-stitched the flaps together into rows, then stitched the rows together. I could have use a machine to finish the windows, I guess, but I like the floating look. Maybe there's another shortcut that I'm missing!

Well, I went looking and it does NOT seem to be in the archives--guess it was longer ago than I realized. I don't know if there is any access to the older tutorials, or not. Does anyone else happen to know?

Very pretty pillow, good luck with the show.

I don't know, maybe in the help section there is a way to get to the old tutorial section. I remember eddie did a tutorial on making a cathedral window quilt using a sewing machine. I don't think he finished it, or I didn't see it.

Your pillow is beatiful, great colors.
