I finished my PTS9 pillow top over the weekend and got it into the mail on Tuesday. I showed you the beginnings of the top a few weeks ago, but here's the finished pillow:
A New York Beauty block out of Chicopee and Annie's Seed Catalog text print. My partner wanted scrappy, so I tried to accommodate that request on both the front and the back. I wanted to do something special for the back of the pillow, so I made some string blocks out of more Chicopee to make the back a little prettier. I wish I would have bought more of the text print, as I'm now down to scraps.
Then, after the pillow was done, I decided to quilt and bind the strip and flip quilt top I had finished a month or so ago (followed the tutorial on Cluck Cluck Sew Here). I am not a person who generally quilts. I prefer quilting by checkbook, but I thought maybe I should try some straight line quilting for practice. Luckily, the quilt top was about 45" x 45", so it wasn't too hard to handle. My straight lines are not as straight as they could be, but I powered through it and got the top done.
And, drumroll, here it is:
The back is a small bright dot fabric I purchased at the Twaine Harte Pharmacy.
Hope you are having a wonderful, creative week.
Aaaanyway, that's it from the Robertson household.
Your pillow is wonderful. Glad you had a chance to do some hands on quilting. Organic straight is the only way to go.
