Pillow Corner

Quilting sometimes produces "orphan blocks" - blocks that don't have a project home. I'm not usually a pillow gal, but a 16x16" pillow is the perfect landing place for these orphans.

Singing the Blues Quilt leftover blocks

Singing the Blues is a monochromatic quilt made entirely of half-square triangles in blue. (Singing the Blues video still to come)

Meet Flying Geese practice block

This quilt block is from my Flying Geese exploration video. The so-pink-it's-hot color scheme was definitely more fun than the gray.

Wonky Star detour block

The Ohio Star isn't wonky but it caught my eye while I was studying wonky stars. Elegant and simple, it's one of my favorites.

Meet Log Cabin practice block

I thought I could whip up a Log Cabin block because I'd seen it done. But it was harder than it looked. This was my do-over.

Hexagon Kaleidoscope block design

While I was playing with hexagons, I recalled that hippies used them to mend their jeans. What a good idea!

Quarter Square Triangles - color wash

This is my first color wash piecing, from purple to green with aqua in between. All scrappy quarter square triangles.

Boy's Nonsense quilt block

While playing with Quarter Square Triangles, I discovered this hilariously named block. Love that kitty print.

A closer look

I love finding little details on a pillow, something I might otherwise have missed.
