Hop on over to the Fat Quarterly blog today to find out more about this pillow I made using Moda's new line, Quilt Blocks and Jenny Pedigo's wonderful quick curve ruler. Only over here in the UK we would call this a cushion. A pillow is used at bedtime to put your head on. A cushion decorates a sofa - and in expensive magazines it can also decorate a bed but there would still have to be pillows to sleep on, the cushions, or we might even call them scatter cushions, would sit on top serving no apparent purpose at all.
Saw this earlier on the FQ blog and thought what a beauty it is. Fabulous fussy cutting. How did you find using the ruler and sewing the curves? I have the ruler but not used it as yet.
ReplyDeleteI've seen it already at FQ blog and I absolutely adore your pillow. Fantastic fussy cuts and layout + fab color&fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow and wow. That is absolutely fabulous.
ReplyDeleteooooh lovely and kaleidoscopy
ReplyDeleteLovely cushion, Lynne.
ReplyDeleteSemantics are so much fun. Your cushion is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHaha, over here we sit on cushions. We're so unrefined ;) I love your cushion. Those fabrics are so fun.
ReplyDeleteI love it! So worth the effort :)
ReplyDeleteJust read your FQ post and you, lady, are as cool as a cucumber! The pillow is fab, and I love what you did with the mitered outer hexagon edge.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the cushion/pillow explanation! We have always called them cushions as well, and only since I started reading blogs have they become pillows! Too funny Lynne!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab, and love the colour combo!
ReplyDeletePS, I rescued the thread from the sorting office today, thank you so much!
Saw it earlier on FQ, might have known it was yours... freakin awesome missus xxx
ReplyDeletehahaha...we sit on cushions here too. Sofa cushions, chair cushions...I wouldn't put a sofa or chair cushion down to lay my head on, but I could lay my head on any pillow...but never on this little beauty of a decorative throw pillow. It's gorgeous, Lynne!
ReplyDeleteYou tell 'em!
ReplyDeletegreat tutorial over on Moda Bake Shop Lynne!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cushion (aka pillow lol!!!) TFS
ReplyDelete~Terry~
Lovely!! I'll have to check out your FQ post.
ReplyDeleteLove how the wedding ring print gives the hexagons the illusion of scalloped edges
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool Lynne! I was secretly hoping you would post about this ;o)
ReplyDeleteThis "cushion" is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I ordered that ruler. Another fabulous example of enabling courtesy of Lynne....
HA HA HA....that is a line from 'Planes,Trains and Automobiles'. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLovely cushion though.
The English to American translation cracks me up. I'm English and now thanks to the world of blogging and quilting have been using American terms!!
ReplyDeleteI`m waiting on my ruler and so great to see yet a different design using it. Hurry up postie!
ReplyDeletePlanes, Trains and Automobiles FTW!!
ReplyDeleteahh but cushions are never wihtout purpose they are there to be beautiful to look at .. what other purpose do you need to be allowed to sit around on a bed or a couch.
ReplyDeleteBeing a English speaking Englander I agree...either way your cushion is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely but your gnashing teeth are not encouraging me to have a go! I mean if you struggled and the air turned blue ....where would that leave me!?
ReplyDeleteI've lived in California my entire life. Cushions went on the sofa and pillows went on the bed! And your cushion is delicious!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and now I get the whole "cushion" thing! Thx! :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful! You have such a fabulous eye for design and I love the way you've used the fabric - splendid!!
ReplyDeletetotally cracking up about your post title! LOVE IT! beautiful pillow also!
