The pillows were for twins and I had to fight the urge to do matching ones. At first, I contemplated similar patterns in different colours, then similar colours in different patterns. I am glad I resisted.
Hard to tell which one is my favourite. This palette is really unusual for me, but I love it. It was inspired by that Kaffe Fasset floral fabric, which I had been hoarding forever. It felt good to actually cut into it and use it already! I really loved the process practicing those different quilting stitches.
The second one... Probably my favourite colour scheme of the moment. The quilt-as-you go method made quick work of both the piecing and quilting, but the result is still interesting.
The backs have Velcro closures, and whatever embellishment I had on hand.
Here is the final shot:
Two pillows with different personalities. Just like their new owners!

Lovely, as always! I'm sure these twinnies will appreciate their unique gifts!
ReplyDeletethese are so pretty/ lucky recipients! :)
ReplyDeleteSew glad you fought the urge to match. These pillows are each equally gorgeous and are certain to be a delight to the recipients! Both colour schemes are brilliantly chosen. The quilting highlights each design perfectly. Well done, Dominique!
