That leftovers thing happened again. ย Hexes turned into triangles, and now I have another shape to show as an example in my triangle workshop with a hexagon shape center to boot!
The stars turned out pretty wee by the time I cut them from the left over hexes.
The precision I’m pretty happy with, no paper piecing involved for those of you that asked, just 60 degree triangle piecing.
I floated them in Essex Linen.
These prints are favorites and deserved some limelight.
The diamond shape the quilting forms was simple enough to execute.
And it matches the pillows on my couch;)
Finished off with my Invisible Zipper Tutorial.
The weather couldn’t be any more perfect for quilting and if my child’s mood this morning is any indication of how most of Seattle is feeling today I think I’ll make the best of it and stay home to sew.
Chin up Seattle.
Happy Monday;)

It’s pretty gloomy in this house this morning too.

Take care and happy blogging to ya, from Laura ~
Wow! I love these pillows. Too cute!
Love your pillows with greyโค๏ธโค๏ธ??
Throwing stars! Everyone needs those.
totally!
I always love your pillows and these are no exception.
I love pillows:) Thanks for the kind words!
The pillows look great. I really love the gray fabric.
The Essex is a good standby for sure.
I love the look of the grey with the quilting over it, I’m enchanted ๐
This is very inspiring. Our new house has a long fireplace mantle. Not very comfortable by itself but if I add pillows it becomes tons of extra seating. Yeah Katie!
Good idea! Never enough pillows.
Reblogged this on Kid the Cat's Son and commented:
