Patchwork State Pride Pillow
Categories: Bedding, Decor, Pillow, Patriotic
This Patchwork State Pride Pillow shows off my Virginia heritage. This pillow uses Fairfield World Smooth Fusible Interfacing, Stick Double Sided Fusible Interfacing, a Soft Touch pillow insert, and P & B Textiles fabric in Urban Scandinavian Black and White. I had an extra long pre-made patchwork strip left over from my Zig Zag Modern Fuse Applique Baby Quilt, and was pondering what to make with them. Being from the South, quilting is a huge part of our maker heritage. I decided to sew the extra long strip into a patchwork pillow. Since I don’t like making things people have seen before, I added a more obvious heritage element, by using a silhouette of my home state Virginia. You can subsitute my home state with the state, province, or country of your choosing. Head over to my website, Crafty Lady Abby, for the full Patchwork State Pride Pillow tutorial.
