18" 22". Leave them
stacked together with
wrong sides facing.

CHEVRONPILLOWFINISHED PROJECT SIZE: 12" SQUARE
CHRISTINA:Sometimes, I want to quilt a gift for someone but it doesnt make sense to create a full-size quilt.
Thats when I turn to this pillow. You can change its look by changing the fabrics; subtle prints create a whole other
effect than the solids Ive used here. Its a nice sort of blank canvas for customizing to the person Im quilting for.
DIANE:With this fairly improvisational piecing, too, each pillow you make is one of a kind. Thats a nice gift-
giving touch.
Skill Level:
Christinas Tips
Instead of using only two fabrics for
the pillow top, try incorporating
some print strips in the same
colorway. Go for subtle prints that
add a bit of interest but still maintaina striking color contrast overall.
Incidentally, when you do the initial
cuts on your yardage for this project,
you end up with 18" 22" pieces,
which is fat quarter size. So you could
always purchase two fat quarters of
either fabric instead of yardage.
Youll find a 6" 24" (or larger)
ruler handy for this project, since
youll be making a number of fairly
long cuts. Just make sure it has a45-degree-angle line.
