I had 2- 15" pillow forms and I needed a little more color on the sofa, so I decided to make these pillows. the background pillows were made a month ago, they were left over blocks from a quilt I made a while ago. I make them with an opening in the back so I can switch them out whenever I want to change them, plus they are very easy to romove and throw in the wash

Oh I thought of that one and even saw some cute patterns for them.....But I have two pug dogs that love to chew buttons off of things so that is not going to work for me..... I even have to remove the eyes from stuffed animal toys. But thankyou for the suggestion.

What a great idea! I love them. :D
Can you PLEASE tell me more about how you did the back?
How much of an overlap is there in the opening?
Yes, now I'll need to make some for changing seasons & holidays.
