I finally finished the pillow shams for my mom. No, I didn't finish the hand stitched pillows yet... but I promise soon.
I alternated the dark shell fabric with the light blue starfish fabric. When they sit on the bed they will alternate the same way. I quilted down the middle of the white on white nautical fabric with a straight line. After I quilted it, I serged the edge and then put the back on. After I turned it right-side-out I then top stitched around the edge about a quarter inch in from the edge.
I backed it with a coordinating plaid (I think it is from the Stella line). I am loving it so much that I think I will need to pick up more of it sometime soon. I did a simple envelope style back to make it easy to take them off and wash them.
Beautiful pillows! I love the pattern and white with blue is always my favourite!
ReplyDeletethese are fab :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, the pillows turned out very nicely! I have to laugh a little when I read that the pattern goes from one pillow to the next when set side by side on the bed. That is something that you would do that others might not.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillows and I love the colors. I'm sure your mom will love them! Thanks for sharing.
