A Quilted Log Cabin Pillow

This is a quilted log cabin pillow that I made for my little one using an improvised combination of vintage and new fabrics. It's not perfect and has some uneven seams, but that's actually what I like about it -- it's just a whimsical, take-me-as-I-am kind of pillow. More importantly, my son likes it, so I guess it's a keeper. Have a nice week!

Voici un coussin que j'ai réalisé pour mon petit garçon en mélangeant des tissus neufs et anciens. Il n'est pas parfait, mais en fait c'est ce qu'il me plaît -- il a du caractère. Mais plus important, mon fils l'a déjà adopté. Bonne semaine !

  9. I LOVE it! You are really making me think about red white and blue for my son's room (I was originally thinking brown toile). I have a "red" living room so that would work out nice. Your pillow is great. You have a nice week too! (: ~Page
