More Opposites Attract Fun!


My newest Opposites + creation!


I made a pillow to enjoy on my yard swing with my morning coffee.


This was made with the  Opposites + Alternative Block


I made four blocks in alternating fabrics 
and made a 15" pillow block. 


I adding piping using this product ...


... Nancy's Notions.
It is a fusible piping cord that was easy to use 
following the package directions.

The piping fabric is from Ann Kelle's Remix collection 
and I did not have it when I started this project.
One of my favorite nearby quilt shops is
unfortunately closing its doors and I shopped their clearance sale.


I used the orange and blue dot fabric 
for the envelope style backing.

 I am having so much fun with this concept 
that I have fabric out for another
Opposite Attract project.  More soon!

This is not a combo I would use, but it does really pop with this pattern.

opposites are working so well and the piping looks so good on the cushion gives such a professional finish have not mastered the art of it yet

That pillow turned out great Pat! I really like that pattern. Can't wait to see your baby quilt you are making with it :)

Okay, I have to admit that seeing block two in this pillow, and the way the blocks come together, makes it awfully appealing. Maybe I change my vote to block 2. LOL
