Thread: Pillow shams

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!

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.

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.
