A big quilt needs a matching pillow!


I'll admit that I have previously been afraid of making pillows, shams, the envelope closure etc.  I have no idea why. Honestly, it is the easiest thing I've ever done and when you stuff a big old pillow in it, it is INSTANT gratification!

So, of course the 'biggest quilt I've ever made', needed a matching pillow case right?  Yes.


I used a pink chevron print for the back, and of course the adorable Lets Pretend panel for the main center of the front.  With matching squares lining it.


I know I've said it a bajillion times, but those marionettes get me EVERY TIME. ♥  SO stinkin cute.


She's all wrapped up and on her way to Oregon!  Safe travels my big lovely quilt!!  ♥

I used this tutorial for the envelope closure, and based my pillow off of Sarah Jane's tutorial here. 
If you haven't made a pillow but have been dying to, this tutorial is the one you need. :)

    This is such a beautiful set. I started my first pillow with a little trepidation as well but it does come together so easily :)

    Thanks for the closeups- I'd not seen that line up close before. I can see why people like it!

    It really finishes off the quilt - lovely. Still need to get me some girls (I can make pink stuff for me but my sewing room is getting rather full of it!)
