X-quisite Batik Pillow

Fabric Requirements:

Notes:

• Finished Size: 16" x 16"
• All seam allowances are 1/4" unless noted.
• * = All fabric must be cut either face-up or face-down.

Piecing the Project:

1. Sew a blue Half-Square Triangle to a turquoise Trapezoid to create a rectangle. Repeat until all Half-Square Triangles are sewn to Trapezoids.
2. Arrange the rectangles in horizontal rows in a pleasing manner, 3 across by 6 down. Tip and turn the rectangles to achieve desired pattern.
3. Sew 3 blocks together to form a row. Repeat to form 5 more rows.
4. Sew the 6 rows together to form the pillow top.

Finishing:

1. Layer the batting and pillow top. Quilt by hand or machine, as desired.
2. Layer the pillow top and pillow back, right sides together. Pin and sew with 1/2" seam allowance, leaving an opening approximately 6" long to insert pillow form.
3. Clip excess fabric in the corners on the diagonal. Turn right-side-out, insert the pillow form and whipstitch closed.
