Colour Columns Cushion finishes at 20 x 20 inches. After I made it, I cut it down to 14 x 14 inches as the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild is making pillows for a seniors' facility. You can find more information about Linda's pattern here.
All the Kona fabrics were in my stash:
- Ash for the background
- Cyan, Turquoise, Malibu, Surf, Pacific, Marine
- Parrot, Kiwi, Leprechaun, Grass Green, Clover
- School Bus, Orange, Persimmon, Flame
- Lipstick, Poppy, Ruby
My first attempt at matchstick quilting. I added some organic wavy lines.
Found a matching backing in my stash.

I like how the matchstick quilting elongates the design into the negative space. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like how you extended the colors into the background using the colored quilting.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting pillow cover, and that you are donating it to a nursing facility makes it even more special. There are so many things to love about it but I think my favorite are the colors. I have some of those Kona fabrics. They are stunning in your setting!
ReplyDeleteOh how this pillow makes me grin! Yay for trying yet another quilting design! And whoa, to have all those Kona scraps...you may be tempting me to get more fabric...
ReplyDeleteThat's nice, but oooh that snow!!!!! :) come down under for some sun!
