I made the strip sets last fall. I put them aside while I was working on the quilt for my Mom; then I was involved in the black and white quilt. Now I decided I needed to finish the pillow before I moved on. Of course during the hiatus, I forgot what I was going to do with the strip sets. LOL. They are from the book, "Strips that Sizzle" or something by that name. The book was a loner that I also returned last fall, so I just winged it. It is my second favorite pillow so far. Comments appreciated.
The finished pillow cover plus how it looks on my day bed.
I love your pillows Ann! The first thing I ever quilted was a pillow and, you're right, it is a great way to experiment. The mariner's compass is beautiful!

is not, after all,
the last item on the agenda,
but rather some understanding,
however simple or provisional,
of what one has seen."
