retro flower and a giveaway

Do you remember seeing this project??  It was my experiment for the Retro Flower quilt I did…..remember??

I thought I had a picture of the finished block…..but I can’t find it.  I decided to add this coordinating strip around the edge of my Retro Flower block.

Oh my goodness!!  Have you ever had a project that once you put it together….you just love it??!  I love, love how this is coming along!

I made it into a 16 inch pillow….

I selected these prints for the back of the pillow….

One more project crossed off my list….many more to go!

Here is the giveaway for the week….what do you spy??  Happy Sewing!

    I am loving your pillow and all that fabric would make such cute retro squares. Did you cover your canoe with polka dot fabrics. Loving it.

    What a wonderful pillow!! Someday, I will face my fear of sewing curves. Love the orange stripe fabric in the scraps this week!

    Love your pillow, I have always been a fan of blue. I see stripes and polka dots and squiggly lined fabric.

    I. Love. This. So. Much.

    Is it in your shop? I think I’ve told you about how much I adore it a few times! Is there a tutorial/pattern somewhere? I might have to make it.
