While Sandy was visiting, we went to the Red Rooster Quilt Store in Dublin, Ohio. They have a great selection of 2017 Christmas fabrics in stock!
Jingle Toss by Maywood Studio caught my eye because it has a colorful mix of Christmas words and graphics. I bought 2 fat quarters, a few coordinating fabrics and designed a pillow cover. Here is the result!
I designed the pillow cover to fit a 16 x 16 inch pillow form. It’s the perfect size for my couch…not to big and not too small!
I used three pairs of ties at the top of the pillow to finish the closure. To make these ties, I used extra wide, double fold bias tape. I think the red bias tape ties in nicely (oops…pun intended!) with the red “JOY”. Here is a closer look at the ties, they are knotted at the ends for extra texture.
If you are a beginning quilter, this step by step pattern can guide you through this easy weekend project.
