Finishes

First Finish of 2020

I have a shelf in my Hidey Hole that holds projects
that are waiting to be finished.
(This is in addition to the cabinet that also holds things waiting to be made.)
One of my goals for 2020 is to empty this shelf.
The items will be moved off of the shelf and completed.

The first project off of the shelf was a two panel set of
USA maps.  A while ago Sara at My Sewing Room
made pillows from these same panels and I really liked them.
She told me what the name of the panel, which is  "Metropolis" by Moda Fabrics,
 and I was able to find them on-line.

They have been sitting on the shelf since then.

Today they came out to play 
and two are finished!

All they need are the pillow forms.




These panels made good size pillows... 20" square.
I just love the map of the United States.

 


This is square... the photographer isn't, though! :)
I wanted a pop of color and like the turquoise binding I used.

 


They were quilted with organic straight line quilting.
Once the pillow forms are purchased,
they will be stuffed and ready for display.

Happy 2020!
May all of your quilting dreams be completed!
