Windowpane Pillow

Windowpane pillow, made with bright Kaffe prints and white.  Nice pattern for charm pack squares.  Sort of reminds me of a giant nine patch.  Add sashing to 5" charm squares, and then bind.

For the back, I got to use more of my favorite modern thrifted sheet - this polka dot pattern is on several projects, and I still have lots left.  It's a Target sheet, and is super soft.

The turquoise binding was originally going to be "piping" that's sewn as part of the sandwich.  It didn't work out the way I liked, so I layered it as if a quilt, and bound the edges with the already cut turquoise.

This is on my couch, and I know the kids like it.  I had to clean nacho cheese drips off it before I could take photos.  Ah, motherhood.....:)

  3. Wow! Those colors really pop with the white sashing. A really smashing, modern look! Prints can sometimes be overwhelming, but this is very balanced. Well done!
