My Christmas stockings left me with a ton of left over fabric that was already sewn together. I've had a Chrismtas pillow on my project list for a while. It dawned on me that my scraps would be perfect for those pillows. There is no time like the present to make presents!
For each 16" pillow I cut a 8 inch square white piece of fabric. I needed more white fabric on the outside to create a diamond shape. Two - 8 1/2 squares for the sides of the pillows and cut them once diagonally to create two large triangles.
I cut 2 inch wide pieces from my last project and framed in 8 inch piece.
I pressed out the seems and added my other pieces of white fabric on each side. I had 4 square pieces of fabric with a colorful border along each edge.
I sewed on the large triangles on each side of the square to reorient the fabric square in the center to create a diamond instead.
All that hard work left me with a beautiful diamond pillow top.
That is all I can get done today. It's time to head to work. Tomorrow I plan on using even more scraps for more pillows and other projects.
