Patchwork Pillow Fun!
I had a small amount of scrap fabric pieces left over from a quilt I made and decided to use them up by making a patchwork pillow.
It didn't take very long to put together - simply cut out equal-sized squares of coordinating fabric (my squares measured 3 inches by 2 inches) then sew into strips. Join the strips together to make your pillow front. I added a 3 inch border around the pillow then attached the back of the pillow. The finished measurement of my pillow was roughly 19 inches square.


It is a great way to use up scrap material and you can make them as big or as little as you want. With Christmas around the corner it would also make a nice gift!
