Project Idea | Pinwheel Pillow

Pin Wheel Pillow

Yesterday I watched this easy peasy breezy tutorial on making pinwheels from the Missouri Quilt Company and was inspired. So today, because I *obviously* (I say with rolling eyes) have nothing else to do, I decide to nip downstairs and see what I could do. Guess what? It worked! And it was just as fast and easy as they said.

As I was just testing the waters with this method I didn't go crazy, but I realized at once that I would have enough to do a nice pillow cover. So a little sashing and an envelope closure on the back and voila!: my Friday project.

What are YOU making today?

  3. This is a lovely cushion. Great use of a day. I love the Missouri Quilt Tutorials - they are really easy to follow and the ladies seem so sweet. I swear by their mitred corners! I'm also making cushions today - I've been in a frenzy of making them all week. Evidence can be found on my blog - www.mrsbiddlesbitsandbobbins.blogspot.com.

  4. That's a great pillow. I just finished a new quilt. It has dogs wearing shoes on it, and it's a lot of fun.

  5. This is so lovely and really cheery!

    And weirdly enough, I just did a little pinwheel mini quilt last week. (It still needs the binding.) Now, what's weird is that it's probably been a good 12 years since I last did pinwheels, and all of a sudden I got a urge to do them. Once again great minds think alike, (but I think I like yours best!)
