I bought some pillows at a garage sale for a dollar a piece. Its been probably about four years since I bought them. I generally don't buy pillows but these were in great shape. I didnt mind the pattern on them but I did plan on recovering them anyway. Yes, time flies. Here it is four years later (maybe even five...) and they are done.
I bought a scrap bag recently and there was a lot of strips in there. I was able to use them and just a bit of fabric on the front to make court house steps and a square in a square. I am really pleased with the results.
Love this quilting idea. I saw it over on
Crazy Mom Quilts and fell in love with it. It's easy and makes a very cool pattern and affect. They look real nice with the microfiber one that I made. That was a happy accident because I never even considered it.
I use an envelope style because I can switch them up if I want to. I have some for Christmas that I like to change off with at Holiday time.
Yes, I put blankets on my couches to protect them. Hey, its better than plastic, and with little kids around I sure need it.
