Great for both experienced and beginning quilters, this quilt project will quickly jump on your to-do list!
Last month's block HST units to create diamonds for a minimalistic argyle pattern. It featured Dainty Daisy by Beverly McCullough. The colors I used were Peony, Lipstick, Alpine, and Mint.
This pillow features the Riley Blake basics collection Bee Cross Stitch by Lori Holt. The colors I used were Cayenne, Coral, Butterscotch, Pumpkin, Plum, and Taffy.
And of course I did a classic grid at 1/2" with 50wt white Aurifil thread.
Here are some other design ideas!
I am also excited to tell you that I made some fun freebie printables packet to help you plan out your pillow! They include a FABRIC PLANNING PAGE, a COLORING PAGE, and a FABRIC LABEL PAGE. To get them emailed to you, fill out the form below to join my email list!
