This is a quilt I completed last spring. Decided to make pillow shams BUT pieced the WRONG pieces so the shams don't match the quilt. Can't redo as I used the last of my fabric & cannot get any more. :( Oh well - My husband thinks it looks great. Such a sweetie he is! Better pay more attention next time. The pattern is Orion's Star by Eleanor Burns.

Actually, your husband's right! Beautiful and the contrast is nice between the shams and the quilt.

I think it is one of those wonderful mix-ups! Any decorator would love to have such pizzazz to a room .. and you did it!

I think it looks awesome!! By the shams not being matchy matchy they don't blend in and show up nicely. Job well done :D

Woo Woo So nice! I agree the shams being slightly different look great!

Hey, i happen to like those shams. i was admiring them before I finished reading your posting. they are lovely, no matter what. :thumbup:

Beautiful quilt!

I also think the contrast is strikingly beautiful! Great work!!

Beautiful! I like that they are different yet the same! Great job!

Your hubby is right! It gives a really nice flare to the quilt. Beautiful!!!

I agree with your husband I like the contrast

I agree with everyone else, the shams are gorgeous that way. Love the contrast.

I agree with Marymm, love the contract it looks great.

Lovely. And I didn't notice that much difference in the pillows until you said something. I simply figured that you had wanted a little bit more white in the pattern. Looks good to me.

Your hubby is right in this case I love the look you achieved by your "MISTAKE"!!!

Your quilt is wonderful and the change in the pillows is just right.

I like the contrast patterns. The fabrics are the same colors so it really looks great and that it was planned that way. Great job and beautiful quilt.

Ditto! :thumbup:

Wow! That is a beautiful quilt and pillow shams. You obviously put a lot of work into it and it paid off! I like the extra pop with the shams being a bit different from the quilt!

I like it that the pillow shams are a little different. They show up nicely! Pretty quilt too.

That is one awesome quilt!

I like the contrast. Beautiful work on this.

The colors match and its contrasting, it's really lovely...I really do like it..I was admiring it before I even read your post

Your pillow shams contrast so nicely with the quilt. Your "mistake" is just the right touch. The shams and the quilt make quite a statement together!

That is beautiful! And I agree that the contrast is just right, otherwise it would disappear against the quilt.

Very striking. I like very much.

I like the way it is and the contrast is awesome

Your husband has a good eye, love the contrast..

Beautiful quilt and I love that the shams contrast they stand out.

Are you sure that is Orions Star, it looks like NIght and Day?

Love your quilt but I think this is Day and Night by Elinor Burns. The Orion Star is a log cabin with a star in the middle.

I love the pillow shams just the way they are, sometimes husband are right :-)

Vicky

Yes it is Night and Day, by whatever name it is beautiful!!

Beautiful quilt! Also love the contrast.

I love your "mistake". I thought you made it that way for the contrast

Talk about serendipity! the contrast is brilliant!

I agree!!! It's a wonderful contrast between the quilt and the shams. Otherwise, they would have all blended together and would not have been distinct. Great job!!! :thumbup:

Very pretty pattern and I LOVE your color choices. Super cute...all of it!!!

Sorry - This is not Orion's Star - it is Night & Day. Have another drink!

Today will be a better day. Orion's Star is the quilt I finished previously.

I, too, like the contrast of the shams. Beautiful quilt.
