Finished today is this red and white checked pillow with a vintage look, made entirely of scraps! I used Pellon Fusible Stabilizer 1" Quilter's Grid On-Point Interfacing to secure the 2" squares together and then sewed the seams right sides together using the lines on the interfacing as a guide. The quilt top was then quilted with a layer of batting and muslin and quilted in a straight line fashion each direction. I'm giving thanks again for my walking foot! The reverse is an envelope opening in a white and red floral print. This project felt like miles of sewing, but she is pretty sweet! She fits a 16" pillow form or an 18" pillow form for a really stuffed look.
