Floor pillow






This is my first experience with applique. I have hoarded this cotton block print fabric for six years. The scale wasn't quite right for a pillow so I appliqued more triangles into a pleasing pattern. Using cotton batting and muslin I made a sandwich and machine quilted around the original triangles.

Had a great on line shopping experience at Fabric.com. They had 27" down pillow forms for twenty bucks each. What a deal, also ordered a beautiful cotton velvet and another fabric for a third.

Game night will be much more comfortable in the future!
