another pillow

I realized after making the LOVE pillow

how much fun it can be to sew patchwork

without following any kind of pattern.

So I tried something different,

well at least to me.

I started with a stack of fabric I wanted to work with,

and a cute embroidery.

(I followed this pattern)

I used the horse at my starting point, 

and just added squares and strips of fabric,

without any pattern, following my whim.

When I reached a large square,

I used some thin batting and quilted it without backing,

alternating lines and flowers.

( I used the same quilting flowers on Miss C.'s quilt.)

I stitched another large square on the top and

a rectangle at the bottom of the quilted square.

I folded over twice the edges to have them neat.

Then I sewed the sides together,

turned it right side out,

and stuffed the large pillow in.

Now Miss C. has two new beautiful pillows,

with a mix of purple, turquoise and aqua,

which only means Miss C. is growing

and has a new favorite color!

I see a lot more work in my future to update her room!

Happy sewing!
