Default Block Pillows

Remember when I made the Labyrinth quilt and I tested a block to see if I would like the combination?

I had that extra block left and three blocks from the Pineapple Diamond.

I had kept them to the side and was thinking pillows but didn't get it just yet as the diamond blocks were pointed and the Labyrinth block too large.

Well yesterday, I got the idea. I took the triangle points off the diamonds and added strips of fabric to the sides of the block to square it up. I made the block 20 inches square. I then put batting and backing to the block and quilted it, then added the back. I gave the pillow a fold over edge so it can be removed and washed.

I did two pillows this way and had six pointed triangles ends left and one more pineapple block. I sewed two triangles to each side of the block, then sewed the remaining two triangle at the widest part, then cut that in half lengthwise and added one into the dip on each side of the of the block, then added more strips to make it 20 ins square. Now I have four pillows to go on the brown couch.
