Well, I’ve been spending a lot of time these last few weeks on bed rest while we wait for our little one to enter the world. Which means I have NOT been working on all the wonderful projects I’ve been wanting to post. In fact, the only good thing is that I have LOTS of time to come up with more projects that I can’t wait to tackle in the future.
But I did want to share something and keep this blog alive. It’s heartbeat was getting pretty sluggish. . . . :o)
So, since I stare at them most of the day anyway, I decided to show you some cutter quilt pillows I made a while back that sit on the window seat in my bedroom. You can find cutter quilts in a number of places from garage sales to a relative's attic. I ended up going to EBAY and finding some for a good price. A cutter quilt is nothing more than an old tattered quilt that, as a whole, is too battered to put on a bed. But often there are smaller areas of the quilt that are not damaged and can be used for smaller projects (e.g. teddy bears, pillows, etc).
Using a sewing machine and basics for making a pillow, I sewed up a few different pillow shapes and stuffed them with polyfil. This particular “feedsack” material reminds me a lot of the quilts my grandmother made. It gives the room a comfy vintage look that I love.

Those vintage feedsack fabrics are delicious! I have quite a few of my own cutter quilts stashed up and I was searching for projects when I found your post. I am very inspired by your pillows - absolutely lovely. The size variations make for a wonderful display! Thanks for sharing... now where are my scissors?
