Black & White Blog Hop: my projects

From the 21st through 24th of January, there is an awesome Blog Hop going on at Creatin' In the Sticks. Carla is hosting this awesome event and we were to create something that is black and white, with some color added if we wished. Here is my project: Black & White Color Study Pillow. It is actually an 18" square cover with a black envelope style backing for the form. Since green is my favorite color, the pillow has varying shades and tones of green on the lower section. The quilting is just simple walking-foot grid work. Very minimal design. Guess what- there were enough of the fabrics left over to make a matching soda can cozy! Be sure to hop on over to Carla's blog to see many other unique creations through the 24th. The link below redirects to a list of all participating blogs. Happy creatin'!

A scrappy pillow is a great idea! All the different prints make it interesting and I love the pop of the green fabrics.

What a clever idea for the pillow! Love the little can cozy too.

Wonderful, Danice! The greens are so fun and the pillow is just terrific. I bet that cozy will come in handy and what fun to have one to remind you of this hop.

I really like the green tones with the black and whites. A study pillow was a good idea.

Carla said...

Love that pillow cover and I could just lay back on it with a can of pop in the AWESOME soda can cozy. Did you make a pattern or tutorial or could you. I would love to make a can cozy. Thank you, Danice, for joining the B&W blog hop. Love your projects with the pop of green.

Love the solid greens with B&W. I've usually tried rust or red with B&W but I may try green next time. I also love the B&W prints you've used.

I love this pillow! Your variety of greens is a perfect accent to your variety of black and white fabrics too. I love creating a bonus projects with leftover fabric scraps and think your soda can cozy is perfect. Thanks for sharing. :-)
