GO! Pillow Talk: Wedged Together Pillow

Today is FREE pattern day in the GO! Pillow Talk series! This month we are using the wedge die and learning about piecing before you send your fabric through the AccuQuilt! Head over to the AccuQuilt blog here to read all my tips on this. The pattern is here.

 

The pattern version is made with a mix of Carolyn Friedlander's Archtextures and Doe lines. It makes for a lovely subtle and light pillow. For my second version, I used Cotton + Steel's first lines. 

 

I used a lot more fabrics than the pattern calls for. (That's right, I don't even follow my own patterns!) I used two strips per fabric, with eighteen fabrics. These were some leftovers from a layer cake. I quilted with vertical stitches 1/4" from the seams using the always faithful Aurifil 2021 in 50 wt.

 

I used the same leftovers for a scrappy back!

 

The pattern calls for six pieces on the back. It's also scrapalicious!!

 

These pillows actually look pretty good together! I'm pretty sure they're going to live together. 

 

The wedge die is one of my favorites! I use it A LOT! I have a quilt tutorial made with it here, plus loads of other projects! It's really versatile.

Go forth and make pillows! They're faster than quilts;)
