D9P Pillow

We bought a new mattress this week, which meant fresh linens. I went with a white matelasse spread so I can add color in pillows and throws. I'm loving the beachy colors of summer- sand and sea glass.

I started a pillow today from this tutorial at the Moda Bake Shop. It's a mini disappearing nine patch. I cut 2.5" squares from my low volume scraps and sea glass solids.


After chopping up the nine patches and assembling, I have a piece that is almost 18" square. I'm considering quilting pebbles in the low volume sandy background. I have to psych myself up for it!


I'm nursing the boy back to health following the extraction of his wisdom teeth. He'll be fine in a few days. Have a great weekend!

Very pretty! I love all the little pops of colour against that low volume. You can do it - the FMQ! Just practice first, and try to relax and enjoy!

Gorgeous low volume cushion top and I love your idea for the quilting!! Hope your son has a speedy recovery...I think my boy ate 20 lbs of mashed potatoes the week he had his wisdom teeth removed :)

Speedy recovery Pete!
