Lately I have been working on two new pillow designs. Trial and error! It seems to have come together for me and I am satisfied with the finished designs.
What do you think?
I love a good geometric design and a nice punch of color! This works for me!
Hard to believe...I actually used a print! I love Briar Rose! I have a stack of it sitting all pretty on my shelf. For months. And months. For some reason I haven't found the perfect project for this fabric, but was able to spare a few small pieces for this pillow.
FYI: I even did a little free motion quilting!
Two peas in a pod. Together at last.
You may think I'm crazy, but to me these are fall colors! My question to you is this: What exactly are fall colors?!

I especially like the first one--both the design and the shading. The lighter salmon color is a surprise, but it works for me. Fall colors to me are mostly colors of leaves changing--oranges, reds, golds. Some dark green and some--not all--purples. The salmon is a bit pink to call fall, but in the first pillow has enough other colors that I'd say, Maybe. The Briar Rose, though has too much pink and springy green with it for me to call it fall.
ReplyDeleteI do love the colors in these pillows, but they aren't very fall-ish...thank you!
DeleteLove them! So glad you surfaced; I was going to email you the other day to see what you were working on.
ReplyDeleteI always have something that feeds my obsession!
DeleteI love the bright colours of these pillows. They remind me of sunflowers.

thank you!
DeleteMy new favorite colors too! XO
ReplyDeleteAren't they great?!
DeleteI love the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous I love the oranges with the yellow - so warm and sunny!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your finished cushions are gorgeous, Jayne! I like the mix of one being solids only and the other incorporating the prints. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of solids and prints too! Thank you Lorna!
DeleteI love both of the pillows. I'd say they are fall colors as well. Yellow, orange, red, brown, just about any warm earthly color falls into the "fall" category, to me anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteI would definitely call them Autumn colours, we are heading into Autumn now and the I can see many of those colours as I look out the window.
ReplyDeleteThe cushion on the right is more like spring to me. Fall is a time when color is more muted as nature readies the earth for sleep. Spring colors are brighter as all emerges new. JMHO ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jayne! We wanted to let you know that we featured your fabulous pillow on the FWFS Blog! We love the modern design and the colors! :)
