TGIFF - Jawbreaker Pillow

I've been participating in the Journey to Nebula Skill Builder QAL.  And by participating, I mean I missed the first two projects.  😂

This is the Jawbreaker pattern by Jaybird Quilts.  I used some Alison Glass prints.  I had a 16-inch pillow form, so I skipped the borders.


I really don't like hand binding, although there are times when it is the best choice.  I decided to use perle cotton and visible stitching.  I think I like this.  There may be more hand binding in my future.


When I started making this project, I didn't have a recipient in mind, but I do now.  I really need to think about the recipient when I'm making a quilt -- I have far too many quilts in my house.


An all-over loop free-motion quilting in silver thread as I didn't want to distract from the prints.

  1. The hand work to finish the binding looks great. I'm glad you came up with a good recipient for the pillow. I just gave away 3 quilts yesterday, and I have a stack of 8 more that I could easily part with... so I can relate to having too many quilts in my house. :)

  2. Fabulous! What a wonderful gift with happy thoughts built right in. I love hand quilting and binding especially with perle cottons. I usually make donation quilts and never know the recipient. I just am happy sewing up scraps.

  8. I really like the bright, happy colors of this pillow. The hand stitched binding looks great. I never thought of stitching binding that way. I'm sure the recipient will love it.

  9. Great job. I intended to do these, but may hop on the bus later. I love the colors and the binding. Great finish for Friday (now on to finish mine for next week).

  11. Beautiful cushion - such happy and bright colours! I also have a pile of quilts at home right now with no recipient in mind and it's starting to get a little bit out of hand. That's why I started making clothes - I can't stop sewing but nobody needs that many quilts! LOL By the way, where did you get that cute label?
