Pillows are one of my favorite projects to make. Each one is its own little composition, and it’s a great way to create something decorative and functional for your home. I think they make great gifts, too.
If you want to try a new piecing technique, a bit of free motion quilting or even some hand quilting, a pillow is a much smaller commitment than a quilt. Last month I experimented with some worn out jeans and some thrifted shirts.
Orphan blocks can find a new home in a pillow. A bit of special, long hoarded fabric can be featured in a place of honor. Experiment with a new color scheme and see where it takes you.
What’s your favorite quilted project?

I haven’t made any pillows myself, but it is definitely appealing to turn orphan blocks into something lovely and useful!

I have to say my favourite projects are the smaller easy quick finishes. I’m enthusiastic about a project at the beginning and when the end is in sight, but in the middle I start to lag and it becomes a bit of a slog, the shorter that time frame is the better! Plus they’re easy to quilt. if you can turn it into something useful like a cushion then it’s a real bonus. Love yours!

Can never have enough cushions! I love them though the other half keeps pushing them off the sofa!

Oh, these are so great! I like how they can be bold or subtle, depending on the fabric choices you make. I do like the look of them 🙂 I really like the upcycled shirts ones, they look so homely.

The best thing about the ones made from shirts is that they are so soft! Probably all that washing and wearing in their previous life.

Marla, they are all beautiful, but the last one is my fav! I like the quilting on the it. No matter the color, all of your hand dyed fabrics are fabulous together.
