Your sham is just beautiful.
Also what kind of sewing machine are you using in the photo? It does pretty good on your quilting.
Thanks for posting the beautiful things your are making. Beautiful colors too.

Thanks for the compliments jigs! I never use patterns...all my quilting just evolves.

I made up the pillow sham tops, layered them up with double layer of poly wadding to give a bit more loft and stiffness. I made envelope backs, just basically overlapping two pieces right sides out, stitched all around, then added binding to finish. I quilted one HST/4 patch width from the outside edge to create an 'Oxford' style of pillow sham. I have a Janome 9000, not much throat space but I have managed to quilt over 90 x 90 quilts through there phew!
