Pillow Corner

Green circle polka dot pillow

My new sewing machine allowed me to (finally) sew curves so I made a green circle pillow, as you do.

Pink circle polka dot pillow

And then, of course, I indulged my girlie side and made a pink one. 

Half Rectangle Square block

Learning the half rectangle square was not intuitive, but once I got it, I made a whole bunch of them. 

Boy's Nonsense quilt block

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

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. 

Hexagon Kaleidoscope block design

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

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.

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 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. 

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)

A closer look

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