Improv Quilted Pillow
Quilted pillows are such a nice way to explore new designs. They are quick to make, a great use for scraps, and easy to quilt on your home machine. The small size means you can try out a new idea, especially an improv one, without much commitment in the way of time or materials. It is a maquette you can use on your couch!
I used shot cotton scraps in warm colors with black Essex linen for this oversize pillow cover. It is 24 inches squares. The back is a self lining envelope closure based on Amanda Jean's tutorial.
I created the wavy quilting with my walking foot and Aurifil 50 wt thread.
This quilted pillow cover is in my etsy shop now.

Love the quilting, will have to try that with the walking foot.
This pillow is beautiful. I've been looking for a pattern to use to renew my pillows, and I think this is it. Thank you so much.
Fabulous. Love everything about it.
I really need to start making pillows! This is great!
I love quilted pillows, this design has grabbed my attention right away. It is beautiful.
I love this so much! I adore the bright colors with the gray. So awesome!
It's only in catching up after a long internet absence that I realize how much I missed the inspiration I get from your work...
Thank you for being! :-)
