Create a Beautiful Pillow from a Striking Design

May 6, 2025 | Pillows, Shams and Pillowcases
| Contrasts in Values and Fabric Styles Make It Work!
This beautiful pillow is a simple project that yields eye-catching results. The strong graphic design is softened by a larger-scale floral print in the center and around the outside.
Showcase a special print or motif in the center and build your color palette around that. Be mindful of value contrasts and the placement of print styles to replicate the graphic design.
While the pillow is delightful, the top can also be used for a wall or table quilt. It will be charming in prints for any season.
The pillow designed by Kate Colleran is 18″ x 18″.
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!
