Log Cabin Ribbon Pillows
Category: Pillow
Beautiful, colorful woven ribbons, placed side-by-side, imitate the look of traditional log cabin patchwork and makes up into log cabin ribbon pillows that are easy-to-sew, too! The ribbons are fused to a background fabric and the cut ends of the ribbons are covered by overlapping rows as the design is built from the center out. The use of Fusi-Boo fusible batting provides the best finish and all you need do is insert a Soft Touch® Pillow form!
Project Note: Choose an assortment of coordinating woven ribbons in the following widths: 3/8”, 5/8”, 7/8” and 1-½”. A listing of styles from Renaissance Ribbons is listed in supplies for reference of the pillow made here. When choosing your coordinate fabric, it’s best to go with a small print that compliments well with the selected ribbons – look for one that allows the ribbon to stand out from the background
