A Beautiful Use of Scraps!
String piecing on a fabric foundation makes this beautiful pillow an easy and foolproof project. You’ll love how simple it is to make and how you can use the blocks for many types of projects.
This method is perfect for using up leftover strips of fabric in your stash. Choose a color coordinated combination or simply create a lovely scrappy version where anything goes.
The pillow requires just four blocks so this is also a quick project to complete. If pillows aren’t your thing, layer, quilt and bind the four-block top for a lovely table mat. You can easily add more blocks for a larger quilt, too.
Once completed, the pillow top, from Helen from The Dining Room Drawers, is about 16″ square and will fit a 15″ pillow form.
