finish it up Friday, week 4
Welcome to week 4 of finish it up Friday! I hope you all have been busy finishing. I know I've been plugging away and it's so fun to celebrate the finishes (big and small) before going to the next item on the list. I'm still trying to figure out why on earth my list is so long?
This week my finish is this fun little pillow cover. It measures 20" square and you can find the tutorial for piecing the triangles here. This is a great scrap project to use up those teeny tiny strips! And as a bonus, the finished pillow looks mighty fine on my couch. It's bright and sassy. Just like I like it. :)

ReplyDeleteLove that blog entry, and all the additions!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I always have way too many WIP's! It's terrible, really. A sickness, I suppose. But I have to so many ideas and so little time. However, tonight is another Friday Night Sew-in, and I plan to complete another project or two.
ReplyDeleteAdorable pillow! Looks like a good way to use up some of the strip-scraps overflowing their drawer...
ReplyDeleteThis week I put the final touches on a pieced/quilted jacket for my mom, that I've been working on since early summer (off and on). I'm ready to get back to flat quilt projects!
No finishes for me this week, but several starts! Love the scrappy pillow... it's been on my list since your last post about it.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking pillow. I think I remember it from a previous blog entry. Keep up the good working finishing projects. You're rewarded with a great looking pillow for your couch.
ReplyDeleteI love your pillow -- all of those pieced triangles are just spectacular. Thanks for linking to the directions. I really want to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous cushion! Such small pieces! Love all the colours and it has a nice summery feel (just what I need today!!)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Love the way the directions of the triangles give it such texture. And great tutorial too. Well done and thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Finish Up Friday. It's a great motivator.
What a fun pillow!!! I really like what you've done with your blog - adding just a touch of color to your header and sharing your lovely smile!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Jean I just love that pillow! Well done! One of these Fridays I will "finish" the 36 patch quilt from your quilt along! I changed over from novel ideas on typepad to DukeSaysSewWhat on blogger. Congrats on your book also!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pillow!!! I am constantly getting blog/project envy after I see your stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the finishes. This is certainly motivating me to FINISH!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to have a start it up Saturday. The quilt I want to be done by mid December is still not started.
ReplyDeleteI love your pillow! I need to get on the ball and make a few new ones around here.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back - I love that pillow - I desperatelt need to make lots of scraps so I can have one in my future too.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime I am determined to make serious progress on my christmas tree skirt (I'd say finish, but am toying with the idea of hand quilting it)> Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Your pillow is stunning,I love it.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing finish for you Amanda, I love your pillow! I tried to leave a comment on your last post but it didn't work,poo. I love your daughter's design, your new header and pic too!! Oh great new linky link with pics. You motivate me..

ReplyDeleteWhat a great little pillow! Sorry to say I only got 'starts' started this week, no finishes!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You're right it is bright and sassy.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I've been itching to get back behind my sewing machine for about a week now. My new baby isn't making it easy, but I'm determined to find a way!
ReplyDeleteThat pillow is sooo beautiful! My scrap stash doesn't have as much variety or depth, yet, I don't think, to pull this off. So I'll just admire yours for now. :)
ReplyDeletelook at you with your cute new blog header and your super cute profile photo. i think about finishing things for your friday link up, but i dilly dally too much.
ReplyDeleteI love this pillow. Great work! I don't even want to think how hard it was to match all those corners!

Snowballs and nine-patches make such a fun combination! your piecework is spectacular and the quilting complements it very well. thanks for showing it to us!
ReplyDeleteYay! It's so cheery which I bet is really helpful on the wintery days or any day for that matter!
