Remember my reindeer pillows? I decided to make Valentine's Day pillow covers as well. I made two blocks using Pen + Paper and Then Came June's I Heart You quilt pattern and added borders to get to 15.5". I decided to quilt these two blocks using different quilting patterns.
The pillows aren't done just yet, because I have been super busy with other projects and personal things outside of quilting. I took a tumble in driveway yesterday and I am feeling pretty beat up, so I took some quick, poor quality photos, but hopefully it illustrates how very different quilting can change the look and/or feel of a pattern.
The first one is quilted with Ginger Heart. I sized it to be very tiny since I felt that was the size that best fit my vision for it. I used super cheap muslin for the backing because it is going on the inside of the pillow.
Which do you prefer?
Linking with My Quilt Infatuation and For the Love of Geese.
Both look good. My preference is the first because I always lean toward traditional and I think it softens the lines of the actual block. I guess there is no wrong decision--just the look you're after. Did you fall on ice/snow? Hope you're feeling better!
