Simply Sunny
Using leftover blocks from a Simply Sunny project to make Pillow:


                  Pillow                                      
                16" x 16"                                         

You will need one block for this project.

• Sew  background strips (1½" x 9½"), to the sides of the flower block.

• Sew one background strip (1½" x 8½") to the top of the flower block.

• Sew one green strip (1½" x 8½") to the bottom of the flower block.

• Sew 5½" x 11½" border strips to the sides of the flower block.

• Sew 3½" x 18½" to the top & bottom of the flower block.

• If desired, quilt pillow top then trim to 16" square being careful to center the pieced block in the center of the pillow top.

• From pillow back fabric cut two pieces 13½" x 16".

• Fold 2" of 16" edge to the back and stitch down ¼" from
  the raw edge. Repeat for 2nd back piece. Note: diagrams show wrong side of pillow back.

• Optional: Apply Velcro to the pillow back opening. IMPORTANT! Position Velcro to the front of one back piece and the back of the other.

• Overlap the two back pieces so the square created
  by the two pieces together measures 16" x 16".  If you have added Velcro, fasten the back pieces together and trim the back as necessary.

• Place pillow back face up.

• Center pillow top on pillow back, right sides together, and stitch around pillow top, ¼" from edge of pillow top.

• Turn pillow right side out and insert 16" square pillow form.
  Note: pillow form needs to be larger than finished size of pillow cover so that it fills the pillow snuggly.
