-cloud song floor pillow-

Cloud Song Floor Pillow

I finished another floor pillow!  Since Juliana claimed the last one, Felicity has been patiently waiting for hers.

Cloud Song Floor Pillow

This one was inspired by a quilt in Little Bits Quilting.  I am addicted to crafty books almost as much as I am to fabric, and I got some good ones for Christmas!  This book has a lot of fun quilts made from precuts.  There are definitely a number of really great designs, and there is the cutest floor mat that I have on my "to make" list.

This pattern is simple, but I forgot how time consuming applique is.  Why do I always seem to block the "this will take a long time" parts out of my memory?! ;0)  It took 3 or so hours to cut out all the fusible web and to stitch all those cute little rainbow rain drops down.

However, the recipient was quite pleased, and she is using it right now to watch a movie!  So well worth the time!

I LOVE this! I remember seeing it on IG and thinking how adorable it was! Are those pillow inserts the huge ones from Ikea? I need to get some more and make some floor pillows for my kids. They would love it.

Thanks for linking up!! I always love your projects.
