I couldnt remember which thread we were talking about pillow shams on , but here are a couple of mine

Your quilts and pillows are GREAT!! My husband loved the red, white and blue pillows, said Oh, HIS and HERS. Great idea.

yeah hubby insisted on those :lol:

Beautiful! Your shams complete the look. :) Love your quilts, they are gorgeous! :)

hey those look great.......makes the quilt look very special........whats on the back :?:

The log cabin has the floral border fabric on back and the ohio star is just plain white, nothing fancy hiding back there!

Oh my gosh! Beautiful! Wow, they really do finish the quilts off nice, don't they? Now you're one talented lady! :)

Those are so pretty!! I never got into the shams--but I sure like looking at yours. :D

Your pillow shams and quilts are very beautiful :D :D :D You do wonderful work! :D :D :D Love the quilting on the red and white quilt, too :D :D :D

Very nice. I like having shams on my bed to match!

wonderfully done.

I remember when you posted a picture of that red/white/blue one and I just love it. I love the matching shams too.

I want to learn how to make them.

How do you do it? Do you have a pattern for shams?

Oh, those are beautiful. You did a terrific job on them! Very talented!!!

Love the quilts & the shams.

absolutely wonderful I love both of them thanks for sharing

No Cordelia, I dont have a pattern. I just measure my pillows then use however many blocks to fill up the size, usually have to add some filler pieces on the sides or on top and bottom. for the top piece I make a sandwich just like a real quilt and quilt it before adding the back. the back is 2 pieces overlapped, each piece about 2/3 the length of the pillow. Here are some pics, maybe that will help me make a little more sense.

Your quilts are both beautiful and great idea on the shams, I am going to try that. :roll:

WOW!! Beautiful!!

:) Thanks for the directions. I have made shams too but bot like these. Great job! You have inspired me!

Oh, i've never made any shams, but had been thinking of it, and thought doing the back like that...so glad to see that would work, and yours look soooo nice :)

Those are beautiful and thanks for the picture with the directions!

Great job on both!

I just can't begin to tell you how much I love both these quilts, and your shams make them even more perfect! Great job!

Beautiful quilts and shams - thank you for the tips on constructing them - much simpler than patterns I have.

Hello! This is gorgeous! I have been trying to find the pattern; what is the name of it? Starry log cabin??

Thanks! :D

pretty pretty pretty !!!!!!

I have pieces of quilts and blocks saved to make the shams just haven't gotten around to it. Do you have them long arm quilted the same as the quilt?

Oh, yes. I see. That's how I make my pillows. But, I've never quilted my pillows ...

It never occurred to me to quilt my pillows but some people do.

I can do that. I can make those shams too.

They're bootiful!

Yes Cordelia, You can. You go girl!!

Missi, I do all my quilting by hand.

Renae, yes that is Starry Log Cabin

Gorgeous!! Both the quilts and the pillow shams are absolutely lovely! :D

I love your quilt and pillow shams. They're beautiful! :)

I'm currently working on making a quilt for a friend and need to make pillow shams to go with. The quilt top is a nine patch set on point using ten different fabric prints along with a solid off white that has a small flower print to it. This is for a queen size bed.

I want to do the pillow shams to match and was wondering how to go about doing this using all ten fabrics and the off white fabric as mentioned above. What size would you make the pillow sham and just how big would my blocks need to be knowing they're going to be set on point. I'm not good at the math part of it. Also looks like your shams are quilted. Looking for some help in the area.

Thanks so much in advance. :)

beautiful.....The quilt seems so much more complete.

I love the shams with the quilts!!

My shams finished about 20 x 26.5 for regular size bed pillows. If you look at the Ohio Star one, it is set on point. I use the same size blocks as in the quilt, just added filler strips along the sides and top and bottom. But those blocks only finished at 7 1/2 inches. So it would depend on the size of your blocks whether you would need stips all the way around. The log cabin only needed strips on the sides.
With your 9 patch, if you did 2 blocks on each sham, you would be able to use all of your colors.
Did you look a little further down the post at my brief tutorial? That might help you.
Let me know if you need more help!!!

Thank-you so much. Will check with you if I need more help. Have a wonderful evening.

beautiful. I made my first one today and will make another tomorrow. Good job. I love both of them.

Love them all but especially for me the red centered pillow sham.

they are really nice, like both of them. Barb

nice


my favorite is the red and white
