Blue/grey/beige quilted patchwork pillow case

Hi all!

I was in the mood for sewing and since I have spring holiday, I wanted to sew another pillow case. I treated myself and bought a fun package of blue/greyish fabrics. (Not that I needed it )

I didn’t have a plan, just cut the fabric in squares and started sewing. Cutting pieces and sewing again. In the end the piece wasn’t large enough, so I added strips as a sort of frame. I like the the look of it!
I quilted it, just with a regular stitch nothing fancy or complicated.

And a collage of the pillow

I had fun sewing!
Thanks for looking.

The colors and the print designs are so serene! I’m amazed at people who say, “Oh, I just quilted up a pillowcase… I didn’t have a plan…” !!! Very beautiful result.

This is the best kind of sewing…just going with it and following your creative instinct…it is lovely…the colors are just wonderful…love how you just pieced it together (it looks like you planned it all!).
