These cheerful pillows are some of the last details to the aforementioned playroom for my nieces.
Since I had some nice big prints, I really planned on making a bunch of the very simple 2-squares-of-fabric pillows. But you can see how that worked out. I always want to add cording, or stripes, or ric rac or something that makes it take twice as long.
Well, they're done, so no worries.
And, don't fret, little doll friends were not left out. Aurora wanted to help make a teeny tiny one of her own so she could help fill it with "cotton". I love 10 minute projects!

Beautiful, so bright and colourful!

It looks great! I love how everything in their playroom is so bright and happy. Plus, it looks like a style that they'll love for a long time.

They all look great! I do, however, believe my favorite to be the leaf pillow :)

Hey,
Love them! I cannot wait to see the room when it's done.
Please, please tell... where can I get the fabric in the second pic from the top in the middle?

OH i do love these so. I made pillows over a year ago - before I really got back into sewing. And they're cute. But nothing like what I could do now. how I want to make some new ones! You've inspired me!

I would like to spend time in this playroom with that stack of gorgeous pillows. I especially love the one with the leaf appliqued on the front, but I love anything with chocolate lollipop fabrics. Great job with these!
PS - I'm glad you didn't leave out the doll friends. They need cute pillows too!

Adorable! Love the mini-one. Love them all and the colors are so refreshing.
Question? Do you actually live at the sewing machine or are you just super speedy? It seems when I do sewing projects they take forever, I get burnt out and then I don't touch the poor thing for a few months. It's something I'm working on because I do love to sew.
You are ubber talented!

Nothing is as simple as we want when we artists start something...always just short of one step too far is the key...
the pillows look great and fun for the girls I am sure that they love them!
