Sister Memory Pillow

Sister Memory Pillow

This memory pillow is part of the project requested by my SIL. It is for the sister of her friend who passed away. The quilt will be for the parents. I finished slipstitching the bottom last night, so it is FINISHED!!!!! Now to get crackin' on the quilt, and possibly another pillow, but I'm waiting to hear about that. The stars really fade out in this picture but they are much more evident in person, and I'm pretty pleased with it. This is the first project I've machine quilted with my new Brother machine and the variable speed made the quilting so much more precise.

A Better Change ...

I decided that the second version of the January block still didn't pop like it should so I swapped the fabric for the burgandy seen here. It really makes this block pop more, but you can really see the difference in the February block.





Now I'm ready to move on to the March block.
