Cathedral Window Pillow - A Snow Day Project

You all, quilting is SERIOUS business.


Finished!

Maybe the Superbowl is still on my mind, but does it not look a little Steelers-esque?  Not my intentions at all, haha.  I did use our bedroom curtains as inspiration and I think the pillow matches pretty closely (you can't quite tell from the photo, the yellow is really a lime color).  Honestly, I can't believe I completed this project.  My first, and probably last quilting endeavor.  Whew!  I blame most of my problems on the distraction of Gossip Girl & then Mamma Mia playing on TV while I was sewing.  "la, la, la" - oops.

  6. Gabrielle - I worked on it over a couple days, but maybe 5 - 6 hours. I'm really slow seamstress, haha.

    Miz - HECK NO! I think my quilting days are over. It was a fun, one time adventure.
