Project Quilting Challenge

 

This is the fabrics I pulled for the Project Quilting - Season 4 Challenge - Square-in-a-Square.  And I had the pattern already in mind to use - just a few adjustments and notes and I was ready to cut and stitch away!

 



 

To break up the square blocks and add more texture and flow, I used an organic swirling FMQ using a light blue thread - Quilter's Pro line from Connecting Threads for the top thread and their regular cotton thread for the bottom.

 



 

I decided  to make this into a pillow and this is the first time I have used a binding finish on a pillow.  I really like how this looks.

 



 

 

And I made the flap back so the pillow form can be removed for washing.  Yes that is the quilt that this 16 inch pillow will go with - I am FMQing like crazy as the quilt is for another competition.

 



 

And the front of the pillow - with the quilt it will go with.  Fabric line is Summer Breeze II - Moda and the pretty yellow floral pillow backing and the wide outer border of the quilt is from Summer Breeze (first collection).  My French Cottage quilt for ME!!
