Welcome to the Jedi Craft Girl Blog! I’m Amanda and this is my submission for the Sew-Vivor Sewing Competition over at Family Ever After. Thanks Rach H for putting so much time and personality into this fun online sewing competition!! I have been quilting for 16 years and I love quilts in any shape and size . I couldn’t decide on a quilt to enter so I thought a quilted pillow would be fun and mix things up in the competition. Meet my Modern Pumpkin Throw Pillow. This is an original design. October is a super busy time of year, so to get my fall quilting fix I came up with this 18″ 18″ pillow. I love it because it has my 2 favorite colors, it involves half square triangle piecing, and uses machine appliqué.
I love the tightly quilted meanders in the background and the black “loop de loo” accents on the pumpkins…..loop de loo is a real word, right?
I had some fun with the back by adding an appliqué spider below the zipper.
I can’t believe fall is just around the corner – yikes!!! Thanks so much for stopping by – this is such a fun competition!!!
Awww…. hi Amanda!! Wow, this is awesome! Even better once I see all the up close details. Your fmq is amazing! And the spider on the back- that is so cute! I need to pin this and copy you for sure! 😉 Thanks for entering it in Sewvivor!
