My youngest brother is a truck driver and he requested a pillow (or two?) for his truck. I didn't think any of the bright girly ones I had on hand were appropriate for him (hahahaha) but inspiration struck at just the right time. I had plenty of scraps leftover after finishing the mustard mishap quilt top, and since the scraps were still everywhere, I took the time to cut out some squares for a pillow. I basted it to some scrap batting and quilted it very simply. Super quick!
The pillow measures approximately 20" square. AND, it is scrap project #94/101.
Even though I made this for my brother, I kind of (really) want to keep it!!!! I love the simple, utilitarian feel that it has. I suppose I could just make another. Ha!
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!
Were these from a bundle? I know Purl had a chambray bundle at one point - I adore everything you've made with these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow - the backing selection is perfect!
ReplyDeleteNice design and color palette for a man!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillow, great for a gift!
ReplyDeleteLove it, and loved that you used scraps from a scrap project! Your Mustard Mishap quilt was so cool - maybe he needs a quilt for his truck too?
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you, I'd be tempted to keep it, too! Beautiful job, as always!

ReplyDeleteI just love how your mustard quilt turned out. You seem to be doing a lot of that kind of improv lately! Is there a new book in the works??? :)

ReplyDeleteI used your envelope back tutorial to finish up a quick Christmas pillow tonight. It was great! My first ever pillow! It was made with fabric left over from a project I did for my daughters dance troupe, so it will be donated to the fundraising raffle at their Holiday show. Finishing it was so which and easy, though, that I've got to make a few more!!
