Oops, another pillow

I mucked up one of the four quilt-as-you-go blocks for my Pear Blossom quilt. When it came time to join the blocks, I trimmed one too small. Rather than pare down all the others, I remade the pinwheel block.


But I still had a beautiful quilted medallion block. Just a bit too small for my quilt.


So I trimmed the block a little more, whipped up a creamy zippered pillow back, and finished the pillow with binding scraps from Pear Blossom and Pink Hero.


Bonus pillow!

The pillow finishes at 18" square from my original design and pattern. The fabric is Pear Tree by Thomas Knauer for Andover.

    This is just lovely. I have never seen that pattern before and I love it! The bound edges add a nice touch as well.

    Great pillow out of an oops.....I'll have to remember that next time I trim one of my blocks a little to much.

    I like the choice of fabrics, they make your pillow so pittoresque. I'd really love to have it as a submission to my pillow talk October, would you mind to link it? http://farbstoff-bridge.blogspot.com/2011/10/octobers-pillow-talk.html
