One of my hubby's nephews will be getting married soon. I'm 99.9% sure that he and his fiancee'
don't read my blog (few family members do) so I think I can safely
show the inspiration for a pillow set I'm making for them.
Here's the fabric I bought to coordinate with their bedding.
I made a monogrammed pillow and gave it at their shower.
Here's the front. It's 16x16" square.
1. I watched a youtube tutorial by Crafty Gemini on how to make an envelope pillow.
2. I made it more complicated by making a custom design (variation on log cabin quilt block, really).
3. I cut the pieces according to my design.
4. I machine-appliqued the chocolate letter Z on with a zigzag stitch and smoky blue thread.
5. I sewed on the top and bottom smoky blue pieces, then the sides.
6. I attached the white border in like fashion. Every bride needs some white in her linens, right?
7. I added the focus fabric to frame it.

I am in love with this fabric--"Flutter", by Alex Andersen.
When the other pillows are finished entirely, I'll show them.
In fact, my daughter said she loves the fabric and could "decorate a whole house in it."
Hint, hint, perhaps?
So that's one more project that took some time in late July to deliver in early August.
