New Patchwork Pillows in the Shop

June 18, 2014

new patchwork pillows

Just added a fresh batch of one-of-a-kind patchwork pillows to the shop! I love these pillows, they make a big statement.

I started making these pillows with pieces left over from other Cotton & Flax projects, in an effort to move towards a zero waste studio environment. While they take considerably more time to create than the other pillows in my collection, I love spending time working on them, combining fabrics until I find blocks that seem to fit together perfectly. It’s a creative effort to be sure, a bit different from the creative process of designing a new pattern, but still quite fun – like putting together a puzzle.

Can you see one of these patchwork pillows in your home? I keep one of the first ones I made on my mid century lounge chair, where would you keep yours?
