single star pillow

I started off with a 6.5 inch star that I made as a prototype. It was just sitting around. What to do with it?

I used a bunch of blue 1.5 inch squares that I had in a box with about 6oo other 1.5 squares that I used for my Midnight at the Oasis quilt border.

I was going to turn this into a mini wall hanging. So I added a 1.5 inch white border to it. Then I proceeded to make mini hourglass blocks from 2.5 inch squares that I had in the 2.5 inch scrap bin.

They were trimmed down to 1.5 inches. I sewed 10 together for the next border.

I changed my mind! Ha. I decided I would use the red hourglass blocks for another project.

I decided to make a small pillow instead.

Here is the finished pillow. It is 9.5 inches finished.

I slip stitched the opening closed.

Here's the back. You never know what direction a project is going to go.
