This is my completed pillow for Challenge 12.5 which was to make a project inspired by the crazy quilt.
I started with these kind of crazy-pieced blades for the Dresden Plate.
I used the Feather stitch, plus a Patchwork decorative stitch on my Brother machine.
Also, I decided to use these ribbons that I have had for years. I wanted to kind of frame the center Dresden Plate.
So that is my Somewhat Crazy kind of a pillow.
I have completed all 5 of the challenges so far, this year. Might as well try to make a project for the final Challenge in about a week or so. Will be linking my completed project at
Sweet pillow! I like how your fabrics blend so well together and pick up the colors of the ribbon, too. It's fun to try out new techniques with these challenges and maybe learn a few things too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I am enjoying my new pillow!
DeleteThat's a fun twist on a crazy quilt - very clever!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wanted to try something that I hadn't done. These challenges have been making me try other things.
DeleteCrazy sort of Dresden Plate pillow, but SEW pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It is now sitting on my couch so I am happy that I finished it!
Deletefabulous! what a wonderful crazy pillow!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! And thank you for having these challenges where I have been trying other things!
DeleteFun little project for PQ!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathleen! I was glad to have it completed in time.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your pillow! I like that you used a traditional shape and "crazied" it. I wish I had used more of my machine decorative stitch like you did - it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was kind of a hard challenge for me because I was not too fond of the crazy quilt theme. I just tried to find something that I would enjoy sewing.
DeleteVery fun pillow!
