Change the Colors to Match Your Decor!
The soft Liberty fabrics and alternating pinwheels give movement to this lovely pillow, evoking fresh breezes.
We love the colors the designer chose, but this would be beautiful in just about any combination of small scale prints.
Notice how the fussy cut pieces in the center of the pillow add interest. It might be fun to do that with all of the pinwheel squares.
Echo machine quilting in a contrasting color is a nice finishing touch. It has the effect of big-stitch hand quilting, which would also be lovely.
The paper piecing pattern by Charise Creates for Sew Mama Sew is for a 20” square pillow form.
If pillows aren’t your thing, consider putting a border (or two – one thin, one thick) around the outside and finish it off as a small quilt to display on your wall or table.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you! PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
