Modern Mini Challenge - Field Trip!
Jennifer at Ellison Lane quilts is hosting a Modern Mini challenge and pillows are included in the challenge too, so I thought that I would enter one that I made earlier this year!
This is the "Field Trip" pillow I made using a combination of Anna Maria Horner's Field Study fabric and some coordinating solids. I had a set of Matildas Own drunkards path templates which I used to make the 4" blocks, so the pillow finishes at 16" square.
I used my hera marker to mark out grid lines approximately one inch apart for the quilting on this pillow and inserted a zipper for the back of the pillow for the first time.
And in keeping with the "Biology" theme, for the back I used the "Frogs Eggs" in multi print from the Sarah Fielke "On the Pond" range .
Linking up to the Modern Mini Challenge over at Ellison Lane quilts- there are some fabulous entries over there so pop on over and have a look!
Kirsten.
I love this one Kirsten - the colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove this pillow Kirsten! The solids you used are so saturated they almost look like shot cottons - beautiful!
