I finished my quilted, lumbar pillow, which is based on a pattern in Malka Dubrawski's
Fresh Quilting.
There's an affiliate link, if you click the photo below.
I used strips from my scrap bin, slightly larger than the pattern indicates, so the pillow ended up being 16 x 35.5 inches.
I quilted the top with simple straight lines to emphasize the zigzag pattern created by alternating the direction of the print and solid rectangles.
I backed it in cream linen with a lapped zipper, using this
favorite tutorial again. The edges are bound in Kona Glacier for a pop of color to help the pillow stand out on my friend's cream couch. I stuffed the homemade pillow form firmly, so this lumbar pillow should be very functional. I hope it fits into the elegant, understated decor of its new home.

Oooh, I like the creamy calmness of this.
Question about your quilting on this: Do you use a walking foot and pivot at every right angle, or do you use a free-motion foot and move the fabric instead?
It's really really pretty and I love the whole understatedness of it all.
That's reeeeally pretty. Love the Glacier.
Awesome pillow, love the shape. The low volumes look fantastic and I like the quilting, oh and that blue binding rocks! What a lucky friend :D
Your choice of low volume fabrics is just perfect! So peaceful and calming.
It turned out beautifully, especially with that dark border. Great choice.
I love the subtlety of this one and the shape! Low-volume is on my list to try…
Did you use a premade cushion form or just stuff it as is?
I like the word Annabella used to describe this - understated. It is. It's quiet. And beautiful. Definitely on the pin board for inspiration.
So beautiful! Love the shape, too.
It's so pretty! I love the fabrics you chose and especially love the red lettered fabric. I think that's so cute. Glad I found this blog.
I saw this on Pinterest. I love your interpretation of the pattern!
