If you’ve had a chance to drool over Daisy Janie’s Geo Grand organic fabric, then you’re going to get your creative on when you lay your eyes on her newest line Shades of Grey.
Jan was generous enough to provide Jacquie and I with fabric for some experimental projects for the book. Some things didn’t make it past the chopping block to the final draft of the book. The Broken Cogs Quilt was one, and the Opposing Triangles Pillow another.
When we laid our eyes on Shades of Gray for the first time we knew that the Opposing Triangles Pillow had met its companion prints.
When the pebbles print turned out a little too dark in value, Jan sent more Shades of Gray our way.
I love the Opposing Triangle pillow and have plans to supersize the design into a quilt. I think it will be backed in Zipper Tape for sure.
Interested in learning how to install an invisible zipper and make some fab pillows of your own? Easy Peazy, come next Wednesday and learn. Half way across the country or snowed in? Try your hand at my invisible zipper tutorial.

I love Shades of Gray and will be getting it because I just can’t pass it up. Lucky you for getting to play with it early! That’s a great pillow that missed the book! Of course, the cogs quilt is, too. I’ve been seeing that around lots of places.

elsa says
loving the Opposing Triangle pillow! and gray is my color lately, with lime, orange or yellow.
Marit says
The Opposing Triangle is a very elegant design! Can’t wait to see the book that has no room for these beautiful patterns ; )
I think this would make a fab quilt pattern. I would want orange to be included in mine…
Somebody told us you have a special day coming up. Wish you a great celebration!!!

These are wonderful. I agree with Marit. If these did not make the book cut, then I can’t WAIT to get that book! So in love with grey, and orange.
margie says
I can’t believe these didn’t make the book either! That pillow is fab! I love the grey 🙂
Sandie says
Jan is right – Opposing Triangles IS swoon-worthy, and Shades of Gray really takes it up. Bravo!
Diane says
Those pillows are wonderful! I love them all!!!

Cheryl Arkison says
I can’t wait to get my hands on more of that fabric!
And if the rejects from the book are this good, I can’t wait to see what you guys included!
Alissa says
Ohhhh those pillows looks so good! Can’t WAIT for this freakin’ book!!
wishes, true and kind says
LOVE all the pillows! And if Opposing Triangles and Broken Cogs DIDN”T make the book, I can’t even imagine the ones that did. That book is going to be mind-blowing!

Re. your comment on my blog — Thank you :D. But — I wanted to set you straight. The pics I showed were of Cherri Langley’s studio, not Cherri House’s. But if I’m ever in her neighborhood, I’d LOVE to see where she works, too!
Sew Katie Did says
I thought the quilts didn’t look very Housish! I should be a better reader! Thanks.
Chara Michele says
I love the opposing triangles pillow, that would make an awesome quilt!
izzy inspired says
ummm….these pillows look as if they were made for my house! I love all three, but the opposing triangle is the bomb-diggity! I can’t wait to see the quilt version, it will be amazing!!
