After debating about what to add to my Tallahassee Anna blocks to create a larger quilt, I decided to go with what I already had and put them together to make a big pillow. It's a little wild and larger than life, so I thought it would be perfect for Jenny who generously shared her Bohemian scraps with me.
I quilted it simply by outlining the neutral pieces.
I didn't have a large enough piece of Boho for the back of the pillow, so I used another Anna Maria Horner print, this one from the Innocent Crush line. I did have a long enough strip of Boho for the zipper flap. Thanks to Jacquie for posting a link to this great tutorial on exactly the day I was trying to decide on a closure. Seriously, this is the easiest way to add a zipper to a pillow!
This may be the only time I make a project with blue leopard print, so get a good look.
Fabulous
ReplyDeleteoh i love it so much. gonna have to check out that zipper tutorial.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me of this pattern :-)Definitely have to try it now.
Oh, this is gorgeous. Can you believe that I have been waiting to see what you would make with your tallahassee anna blocks since you first posted about them, way back when. I have even printed out the foundation piecing pattern so I can make some of my own. So happy to see this pillow!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous pillow! Love the zipper flap. It is both decorative and way easier than sewing it into the side seam!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous... especially the leopard print;-)
ReplyDeleteYou can't buy a pillow that looks as good as this one! I love the fabric choices and blocks!
