Pillows match Petunia Strings Quilt

Pillows are always fun to make and when they match a quilt, that is an added bonus! Both of these pillows match the Petunia Strings quilt. I have the link below that quilt.

Two pillows that match Petunia Strings quilt

16-inch Pillows

Both pillows use a 16-inch pillow form and have muslin on the back.

Blocks or the petunia string pillow

These aren’t the same group of quilt blocks but you can see how they were put together to make the pillow.

I grabbed another set of blocks to show you a different center you can make with the blocks.

Save this for later!

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

Quilt blocks for the pillow

I always love pillows as they are fast to make and a lot easier to free-motion quilt!

Petunia Strings Pillow

Notice the quilted king-size pillow shams in the back? I made them last year and they are out of muslin, this is a great way to practice your free motion quilting.

I love using muslin in my quilts. I love the old-fashioned look of it and it is affordable. A couple of people asked about the muslin. I use a premium-grade muslin, permanent press, and pre-shrunk. I have never actually bought any online as I usually buy it at JoAnn’s with a 50% off coupon. I like to keep plenty on hand.

Yesterday I decided to make a couple of pillows to match my Petunia Strings by the River quilt. Be sure and check out the quilt tutorial and use your scraps up!
