DS "Log cabin" pillow

I {still} had all of my Denyse Schmidt Picnic and Fairground fabrics out after the DS DQ swap, and wanted to make an “Autumn” pillow for the Celebrate Color event at Stitched In Color.

I decided to mainly use the lovely mustardy yellows that we were so lucky to have in our Spotlight stores in Australia and added in a few of the reds and blues to add a bit more interest:

I did a QAYG log cabin style pillow cover which ended up at 17 inches square. With an 18 inch pillow form inside, this has become quite a nice plump and cuddly pillow.

I am linking this to {Sew} Modern Monday at Canoe Ridge Creations and to Fabric Tuesday at Quiltstory (buttons in sidebar) and also to Farbstoff's pillowtalk for November:
