Pillow Parade for the Best of Moda Bake Shop Book

 Are you ready for another pillow as part of the pillow parade for  TheBest Of Moda Bake Shop Book!?!?!? 

Each contributor created a pillow using a block from their quilt in the book and I am very excited to share mine with you, today.  My pillow features a block from the quilt, washi tape stars

I chose to quilt my pillow outlining the various elements of the block

This makes  one 16 inch pillow:

• Make one washi tape stars 16 inch block as directed in the book. The unfinished block should measure 16.5 inches
• Layer the Unfinished quilt block, batting, and some plain fabric, quilt as desired. 

• Trim the quilted quilt block and square it up
• For the backing of the pillows I preferred the sham type method. Cut two 16.5 x 11” pieces of the fabric  to be used as backing for the pillow. 
• Fold under one 16.5 inch side of each piece 1/4 inch, press, and the fold and press down again at 1/2 inch. Top stitch to hold the edges down neatly. 
• With right side of the quilt block facing up, place the backing pieces over the quilt block, right sides together (you should have an over lap of backing fabric. Clip or pin in place. Stitch 1/4inch seam around.  I also zigzag around the edges to prevent fraying. 
• Flip you pillow right sides out,  press edges flat, top stitch 1/8 inch from edge of pillow if desired. Insert pillow form & TaDa!!
