Pillow Swap

I am a member of the flickr group, The Pillow Talk Swap, and it is time for round 5, limited to 50 participants.  I got lucky and got my name in at member #48!  Yea.

The last few nights I have been working on a quilted pillow top, using this tutorial at Sew Mama Sew.  I really enjoyed making this spiderweb block and also was very happy it was only an 18" pillow top!  This block is very sewing, pressing and cutting intensive.

Each person involved puts up a mosiac of quilts and pillows they like.  My partner likes bright colors using star and spiderweb patterns.

Here is my pillow:

I participated in this swap in November 2010 and made a pillow that could be used with either the front or the back.  I wanted to do this again so here is the back:

I used some strips leftover from the front and made the back.  I work   we have a nice grommet setter (graphics business and we use the grommets for banners)and used that to set the grommets.  Much easier than my handheld grommet setter.  The ribbon is stitched to the lower piece, inserted through the grommets and tied.  My partner can flip the pillow if she wishes.

I hope my partner likes my pillow, I sure did have fun making it.
