Once upon a time...
...I participated in a hand-pieced quilt-along hosted by Erin @ Why Not Sew? (quilt-along info here)...
...and I had an "oopsie" block that came out too big...
... and so it has become a pillow :)
It matches the quilt with a little bit of a black border with the larger black-spotted space (some of the blocks in my quilt needed a black border just to make them the 6 1/2" they were supposed to be! My hand-stitching wasn't always the most accurate!).
I quilted it with gold thread to match my left-over binding from another project. It has an easy envelope backing. Next time, I'll make the pillow covering a tad bit bigger as this one came out quite plump once I added the pillow form!
I'm still working on finishing this thing. It needs to be basted, quilted and bound... but then it will be ready to hang in my sewing room!

(Just a quick glance at my planning for this pillow... I love Grizz's engineering paper!)
