The Great Pillow Fight Swap 2014

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know that I regularly like to participate in the Pillow Talk Swap on Flickr. Now recently it hasn't had any swaps, so another group was formed by the people who wanted to keep going, called The Great Pillow Fight. This is its first round, and my partner mentioned liking linen and "clean", so this is the mockup I originally created for the pillow:

Great Pillow Fight Round 1

After playing with the pieces a bit during actual construction, I did change up my design a bit, and ended up with this for the top:

A slight change in plans once I started playing with the pieces. I'm thinking matchstick quilting. What do you think partner?

And here is the completed pillow I made for my (still secret) partner:

Finished Pillow

I quilted it with lines 1/4" apart, and added a zipper at the bottom for inserting and removing the pillow form.

I sure hope you like this partner. :)

  1. It's really beautiful - love the straight line quilting. What software did you use for designing your block?
