I want to thank Nicole for her comment about my pillow cover problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had said “I did make the mistake of making the cover a little too large for the pillow form, so I\u2019ll buy a larger form for this cover.”<\/p>\n

Nicole said “If your pillow form is a bit small, you can wrap a strip of batting around it as many times as you need. You can roughly hand stitch the sides together but you don\u2019t have to.”\u00a0 What a brilliant idea!<\/p>\n

I had a length of puffy poly batting (I can’t remember why I bought it) that was perfect.\u00a0 I just wrapped it around the pillow form and stuffed it back in the cover.\u00a0 It looks like it could use a bit more stuffing in the corners, but I’ll do that later.\u00a0 I was also able to get photos with more accurate colors.\u00a0 On the left is the pillow with just the pillow form; on the right after I wrapped a couple lengths of poly batting around the form.\u00a0 Thanks, Nicole!<\/p>\n

Here’s a peak at my progress on the galaxy quilt<\/a>.\u00a0 All fabrics pressed to freezer paper templates, and pinned to the design wall.\u00a0 I’m going to change the gray on gray star fabric for a dark navy with white dots.\u00a0 I’ll do start-to-finish post when it’s completed, showing my construction process.<\/p>\n
