I recently had the pleasure of working with Heather Ross's latest line, Sleeping Porch. This line is cotton lawn, something I haven't had very much experience working with. Lucky me, it was a dream to sew up. It sews as easily as quilting cotton and is oh so incredibly soft.
I started a quilt with this bundle, but the quilt is on hold while I decide how to back it. The scraps were begging to be sewn up into a pillow in the meantime though. I used 3.5 inch squares surrounded by 2 inch strips (unfinished measurements).
The strawberry fabric in the last picture is not part of this line, but is a (hoarded, cough cough) print from her Briar Rose line. It matches this line perfectly though and so I used a little strip to back the pillow.
I finished up this pillow and sent it to a friend on the other coast where I am sure it is being enjoyed. Yay for quilty gifts and for turning scraps into something beautiful.
