Hi Quilty Friends! I’m Melanie Call from A Bit of Scrap Stuff (Blog) (Instagram) and I’m excited to share my Dazzle Pillow with the sweet Misty Morning Fabric Collection designed by Minki Kim for Riley Blake Designs. I just knew combining all 3 strawberry prints from Misty Morning would make a sweet pillow!
I absolutely love making pillows! It is the perfect project to use your sample/test quilt block OR if you want an inexpensive home decor project OR if you want to finish a project in one day! It is so nice to use a project the same day you made it!
Seriously – how sweet are sweet are these Strawberry Prints from Misty Morning. I just love them!
Let’s chat how I easily adjusted my Dazzle Quilt Pattern to make just (1) block for a 20″ pillow.
Dazzle Pillow Supplies:
1 Fat Quarter of Misty Morning Blush Strawberries
1 Fat Quarter of Misty Morning Midnight Strawberries
1/2 yard of Misty Morning Sky Strawberries (includes binding)
1/2 yard of Bee Cross Stitch White Pebble
3/4 yard Misty Morning Midnight Strawberries (backing)
24″ x 24″ optional fabric for pillow front backing (it will be hidden inside of the pillow)
Check out my A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog for a cutting update to make only 1 Dazzle Block
Note- You will need the Dazzle Quilt Pattern for cutting sizes and block assembly
I love adding an exposed zipper backing to my pillows. The exposed zipper gives a fun pop of color on the back side of a pillow. PLUS it is functional as the pillow cover is removable for washing! Check out my Exposed Zipper Tutorial on my A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog for step by step instructions.
Half-square triangles Tips!
Each Dazzle block contains 8 half-square triangle blocks. I think the half-square triangle is one of the most versatile block/shape and I love a perfect one!
*Tip 1 – Make the half-square triangle block a bit larger and trim to size. I love the Bloc-Loc half-square triangle ruler for this method.
OR
*Tip 2 – Use the desired size of AccuQuilt GO! half-square triangle die. THIS is my favorite method as it is so quick and no trimming needed!
My Misty Morning Dazzle Pillow is ready for spring and summer decorating!
