This Shamrock Can Easily be Made Into a Wall or Table Quilt Too!
This charming pillow is such a quick and easy project that you’ll want to make more than one. The cheery green will provide a welcome breath of fresh air to gloomy gray days, so go ahead and give one to a friend. They’ll be just as charmed by this shamrock as we are.
If pillows aren’t your thing, this project can easily be converted to a table topper or a wall quilt. You could even stitch three together and make a table runner.
Finish off the fusible applique shamrock edges with hand or machine blanket stitch, or simply sew around the edges like designer Lindsey Weight did (Lindsey’s edges are likely to fray once washed, adding another dimension to the shamrock).
The finished pillow front is about 10″ x 10″, although a template is provided for a larger shamrock.

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!
