Thanks, everyone, for your great suggestions for pillows! I decided to make several pillows, so here's Pillow #1. I decided to focus on texture for this one.
This pillow is incredibly soft - the shell is natural flannel, a new favorite fabric of mine.
The flowers are made of denim, muslin and flannel, and the adorable buttons were Christmas gifts from my co-Magpie...aren't they pretty and shiny?
I decided to sew inside the circles so that the edges of the flowers would eventually fray and give the pillow a pretty, almost shabby chic effect.
So pillow number one is done! Thank you again for all the advice, much of which I will be using as I go along. Take care and much love!

ReplyDeleteThese cushions are so creative - I love the flowers.
I hope you reach your goal of making a quilt - they're hard work but fun to do!
