I don't know about you, but summer weather mixed with social distancing means we spend a lot of time on our porch. I discovered that an easy way to jazz up my outdoor furniture — and make it feel more homey — is with some throw pillows.
As you can see, I made two throw pillow covers from the same quilt block pattern. But even though the pillow covers are both made from the exact some pattern, they look quite different!
It all comes down to fabric choice. As you can see, I made one with solids and the other with mostly hand printed fabrics. You could also alter it by turning the block on an angle or by creating a pillow cover made from several smaller blocks!
This is a great project for anyone who loves the look of quilt blocks, but isn't ready to commit to putting together a whole quilt.
If you're interested in learning more about printing your own fabric, check out my live online class on the subject. And I'll have the full tutorial on how to make these particular pillow covers on the upcoming season of Make It Artsy TV.
Thanks for stopping by!
