I started this project a few weeks ago thinking it would only take me a day or two. Well, it turned out to be a little more intensive than I realized. At first I was having visions of making all kinds of pillows using my little scraps - purple, blue, pink, green, whatever. But now I think I am feeling the need to make an actual quilt.
Not that I don't LOVE this pillow cover. Because I REALLY do. And it was really fun to make. I promise. I should have taken more pictures along the way, but obviously I am not very good at that. Oh well.
I used
Elizabeth Hartman's Mod Mosaic Floor Pillow tutorial to make this. I love her tutorials! They are always so crisp and well written.
The only thing I wish I would have done differently was the back panels. I originally intended for the green and orange piece to be the front of the two back panels - not the flowery piece. But by the time I realized my goof, I didn't really want to go back and fix it. It's not that bad the way it is.
And the hubby loves the pillow already. It is a nice addition to our very ugly brown couch! Plus, do you see the blue/green/brown swirls? They match our curtains!
I'm linking up to Becky's "Share the Love" party! (I didn't forget this time... just a few days late...)
Go check it out!
