Welcome to finish it up Friday!
Guess what? I made another pillow! Ha!
(Sorry, I'm getting loopy over here....)
I
just finished this pillow cover and to be honest, it isn't my favorite. I redid the center swirl at least 8 times and finally I decided "it is what it is". The end. Maybe I'll like it more after I have some time and space from it? (I hope so!)
I do love the back. It's a fabric called running stitch by Michael Miller. It's a nice compliment to the front. The pillow measures 20" square.
It's made from scraps, so it is project #51/101! That's half way!
Thanks for everyone who joined me on my pillow week adventure. It's been a lot of fun to read your comments. So, thank you!
Now it's your turn to link up your finishes for the week. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!

Ooh! This might be my favorite one yet! Feel free to keep 'em coming :-)
The spiral looks pretty darn good to me! I love that back fabric -- I'll have to look for it.
I love it! Once you step back from analyzing the center (which is awesome), you will too. I love that little pop of plumy purple too. The last pillow yesterday is on my next weeks to do list as I have a tiny charm pack just dying to be made into a pillow. Thank you for all the great tips this week!!
OHH i LOVE this one!!!
This one is so cool!
It looks perfect to me! Love the backing.
Your pillow is amazing! Really GOOD on you!
I hope you can get enough distance from this pillow to see how wonderful it truly is!
I love your scrappy project goal! Way to make it to the half way mark!
Another gorgeous pillow!! WOW!
Your pillows this week are so inspiring!!!'
I've loved all of the pillows you shared this week!
Fabulous cushion cover and gorgeous colours. Feels very spring like. I wish.
The spiral quilting looks brilliant on the scrappy solids! I agree that backing fabric is perfect! Way to go on your halfway point :)
Fabulous pillow. LOVE the scrappiness and the solids!

Your pillow is so cute! I've struggled with the center of spirals, too -- it's so hard to get it to look perfect!
Absolutely gorgeous.
I love it!!
Thanks for all the tutorials! Love the dark purple strip near the center. I also like the spiral quilting on the rectangles. It just speaks to me.
I think it's fabulous.
Great pillow. And more than half way through your challenge!
That pillow would go quite nicely with a certain little boy's quilt...
It's GREAT!I love the running stitch fabric on the back. Such a luscious green.
This is my favorite pillow.
I love this one! I also finished up TWO pillows today!
If it really isn't your favorite and it needs a loving home- I love it. Really.
I love this pillow! I love all the bright fun colors. And so funny that the project I posted this week I also quilted in a spiral and the center of the spiral just about did me in. It is so much harder than it looks

I really like the spiral quilting. If you don't love it so much then why not not pop it away in a present drawer all ready to use an a Christmas or birthday gift, it is bound to be perfect for someone.
maybe you are not too keen but I really like this one, I suppose it is just as well we have different taste, it would be very dull if everyone did things exactly the same as everyone else
Spirals make this pillow all the better. I'm sure that if you left this pillow out on your porch even in the winter, some soul would snatch it up even if it meant she had to wade in waist high snow to get it.
This pillow is gorgeous...all of my favorite colors and the quilting sets it off so nicely! Well done :)

More pillows for a better pillow fight, right? :)
ooh love the scraps and the quilting and love the MM fabric on the back.
My favorite pillow so far!
I love this one - the colors, the rectangular shapes, and the spiral quilting!
This pillow is beautiful, love the solid colors! you are on such a pillow roll, LOL. It is a fun way to get to make a lot of little projects and finishes, which keeps things exciting.
So many wonderful hues in this pillow...very refreshing to look at :)
the swirl start is awesome.. it's a touch wonky which gives character to the pillow, shows that you are not a machine but a real live quilting PERSON, and it's sort of mezmorizing...draws me into the pillow... I'm not a huge fan of the color combo but the swirl makes me love this pillow! Great work!
I really like this one, love that spiral quilting and I love the backing fabric :)
Thanks for posting, I have been reading your blog for a little while and it has taken me some time to comment but I like your layout and the finish up Friday projects that you are posting. Very inspiring to get some things done, thanks. You can check out my blog at www.phatbobbingirl.wordpress.com if you get a minute.
I really like it, but then I've been working with this color palette a lot lately. The little pops of purple are fabulous.
I love this pillow! The colors are awesome and I think your swirl looks great. I know it can be hard when you are critiquing yourself but it looks perfect from here...
It is definitely a favorite of mine...love everything about it! Pillows are addictive.
