After making
this pillow to match our new living room furniture, I had trouble deciding on what to do for the second pillow. When I saw this tutorial for the
super size castle block I thought this would be a good option since, while I think the block is amazing, I am probably not going to want to make an entire quilt of these.
So I cut out the pieces and they sat on my counter for three weeks. Last week I picked the project back up and pieced them together and the project went fairly quickly and was not difficult (but don't expect to be seeing an
entire quilt of y-seams from me again any time soon).
The colors are definitely a little more muted than what I normally sew with, but they match the room.
The back of the pillow is Robert Kaufman Chambray (leftover from
this quilt) and it is really lovely. I will definitely be using it in more projects in the future.
The finished size is a little bigger than 20x20".
Love that block. I have some chambray and no idea what to do with it. Nice to see some in action. Lovely pillow!
