{the wonky cross pillow}

 The wonky cross quilt block has been on my to-do list for ages! (See? I'm practically the last person to try this block!) So whilst trying to figure out a second pillow design for my living room, I figured HEY why not try it?  Its quick, wonky, and a nice contrast to the other pillow... Octagonol Orb which is very precise and angular.

 I rather adore the pebble quilting!

It took 3 bobbins of thread to do a 19"x19" area, but who cares?  The pebbles soften up the blunt angles and contrast nicely.  See the one block with a blue border?  Yeah.  That block ended up over an inch too small and I was NOT going to start over so I tried to salvage it with a border.  I think it works!

 The back!  One of my favorite parts about this pillow (also pebble quilted.) 

A 20" pillow form is stuffed in this not quite 19" cover... so its bulging at the back opening.  I may end up taking out some stuffing, OR adding a button.  I have a feeling some stuffing is going to go.  Much less labor intensive.

 I thought I should take a shot without the pillow form so its not all poofy and un-square.  The binding is the same fabric I used for our curtains.  Sandi Henderson, I love your fabric!

This now completes my "I MUST make two pillows for the living room!" phase.

Thank you for listening.

I have plans to make a tank top or two (eeek!)  and a quilt from one teeny random photo from Pinterest.  Oh yes, I already have the fabric pulled...
