I recently did a blog post for AccuQuilt showing how to easily make this beautiful batik pillow. The tutorial is another fast and easy one featuring the 12″ GO! Qube and also the new 12″ Companion Set.

Visit AccuQuilt’s blog for the entire Purple Shadows pillow tutorial.

I have really enjoyed working with the 12″ GO! Qube and recently received the GO! Qube Companion set. The new 12″ GO Qube Companion Set includes 3 dies that can be used separately or with the 12″ GO Qube. 12" GO! Qube Companion SetI don’t know about you, but I never seem to have too many pillows. I have always liked the Drunkard’s Path block but it is a time consuming block to cut out.

I wanted to include a photo of the way I pressed my blocks. The Drunkard’s Path blocks were pressed toward the center but I pressed the block seams open. This will make it easier to do my free motion quilting.

Save this for later!

I'll email you this post so you can come back to it later.

Don't worry, I promise not to spam you.

  7. Very pretty! I love having pretty pillows around but my husband ends up tossing them elsewhere because they are in his way. I especially love the quilting you did – just a simple straight stitch close together.
