Summersville pillow

Hey, look! I made a pillow out of Summersville. And now it's in Fat Quarterly. It's a little ray of awesomeness, to wrap up a week that was a bit short on that commodity. : )

I participated in the Designer Challenge for Issue 10 of Fat Quarterly. I don't think you can go wrong with Summersville, but for this I wanted to do something different than my usual solid white backgrounds (which I know I tend to fall back on a little too easily!). Enter the Essex Linen Yarn Dyes, which I'm just a tiny bit obsessed with right now. Sooooo much texture in these! I did the whole pillow in a double-monkey-wrench block, which is basically a more-condensed churn dash, and set the blocks on point.

Head to the Fat Quarterly website to pick up Issue 10 of Fat Quarterly—this time they're celebrating all things British. Plus you can check out the details on my pillow and see what everybody else in the Designer Challenge did with their Summersville.
