Default Winding Ways Fall pillow

I ended up making a pillow out of my test block. i just bought some winding ways templates. 12 inch ones. I made the mistake of spray starching some of the fabric I got out of my fat qtr drawer. Well i did that after tracing around the templates on the fabric. some shrank. it took me awhile to figure out what I did wrong. so i trimmed it down better and made this pillow out of it.
lesson learned.

Your pillow is lovely but I am confused why did the fabric shrink? It seems backward that the fabric would shrink because of starch! Merry Christmas.

A good use of a "mistake".
