The DSMMQG had a pillow swap over the last few months. We exchanged pillows at our meeting last week. My partner had posted pictures of a grey and navy blue quilt she made for her guest room and asked for a pillow with an accent color to go with the quilt. I chose a deep coral that I thought worked well with the navy and grey. My partner also specified that she loved Dresden circles. Done and Done!
I couldn't show any process pictures because I was afraid that my partner would be able to guess too easily. The only picture I showed was the back, where I used a large scale floral.
Now that my partner has her pillow I can show the front.
I just did a few rows of echo quilting in navy blue around the outside. It is bound in Kona Salmon. I couldn't even begin to tell you what all the fabrics are.
My partner followed my preferences to a T. I'm so thrilled with my pillow.
She used a dimensional technique for making the flying geese, which adds depth to the pillow.
When I was taking these photos, my husband looked over and said, "It matches that quilt exactly." Indeed it is a perfect match.
Here it is with its new friends on the couch. Thank you Emma!!!
You're welcome Eva Marie, I'm so glad you like it!! (since I loved it too, it was easier to give away knowing it was going to a good home!)
