Raw Edge Applique Quilted Pillow

I finally finished one of the projects I have in the works. A pillow made with the fast technique that is fusible raw edge applique.
Just in time to enter it into the “2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge”; so here is my 16” pillow.

I love this design I made a few months ago; at first I thought to make a miniature quilt then I changed my mind; the 3D look is more visible on a pillow.

I love that I found in my Kona stash so many assorted colors!

The quilting ? Feathers that fill each piece – so easy, nothing to mark!

It’s hard to stop at one! I have to finish one more! Different color palette, different quilting. Stay tuned!

Here is the other pillow I made with the same design.

  1. The colors, placement, and quilting have made for one awesome pillow. It is absolutely beautiful. Adore the fabrics you chose for it. Beautiful quilting.

  2. Your pillow is beautiful! I love the simple complexity. It reminds me of artists like Pablo Picasso from the cubism art movement. For a name maybe 'Avant-Garde'?

  3. The pillow was an excellent choice for this block. I don't know what to call it either, but it looks like some of the other comments have great ideas. Your feathers are great! I'll have to try that quilting technique for filling in triangles. I'm surprised it was raw edge appliqué. I would not have been able to tell it wasn't pieced had you not confessed.

  4. Your pillow is beautiful and more amazing with your quilting. First thought on seeing the pillow was "Angle Delights" . Thanks for sharing such beautiful work. Judy C in NC

  5. I like all the names suggested by Lisa E and the 5 before my comment. My first thought was Feather Dream (Lydsfire also likes Dream) or Feather Flight.

  6. This orchid pillow is totally gorgeous! You put together the fabrics in such a beautiful way… and "quilt it to into life."

    How about "Geta's Gem " ?

  7. Yay for you entering the Pantone Challenge. I did too, but I can already see that I'm beat! So many neat designs out there, and yours is fabulous. Love your quilting, as always. I hope a name for this becomes clear. It looks "fractured" to me.

  8. What a gorgeous design!! I don't have any suggestions for the name, but I love the way the shapes get more intricate as the progress towards the outside. Beautiful! Also a lovely choice for your back fabric as well. 🙂
