Liberty Flower Pillow

            

I have had a Liberty Fabric jelly roll in my fabric stash for a while waiting for the right project. I saw trending on Instagram a Liberty stash challenge and went for it. I made the flower petal pieces and use tiny hexies for the centres. Its 20x20 inches, big and super cuddly. The green is an awesome 1940s shade, reminds me of the trim on my antique colander- mint by Free Spirit. 

Spring Hexies

                                          

We finally got a fabric shop in town. We used to have a fabricland may moons ago, but they really aren’t modern by any means. Oh Look Fabric is not only an awesome name, but Andreas put together and amazing shop.  Modern fabrics, embroidery kits, local made crafts.. it’s a little piece of heaven. 

I picked up an array of spring prints and happily went to work. Lots of Dresden’s and hexagons. This is the first piece. Best thing about English paper piecing is fussy cutting. Picking out all those sweet images and sewing them together.

I made some half hexies to fill in the top and bottom gaps.  Trimmed the sides to make them straight.

 Hand stitched between them all so they would puff out

Sewed to an envelope style back.

Soooooo sweet!
