Arcadia Avenue Pillow Tutorial!

Arcadia Avenue Pillow Tutorial!

Right before Quilt Market, the great girls over at Dear Stella asked us to make a few pillows to show off the blocks of our Arcadia Avenue pattern. We decided to make some 3D hexagon pillows. We made a total of 11 extra blocks that we turned into pillows!

Today we are going to share the beautiful version of Arcadia Avenue that my grandma, MaryEllen Laughary, made! She used her bountiful stash of Kaffe Fassett shot cottons, plaids and stripes to paper-piece the blocks.

Okay, so most of you have already seen this quilt a few times! But we thought we could have an Arcadia Avenue week to answer some questions about the pattern and share some details about each quilt. We have 5 different versions to share with you, and today we are kicking it all off with this gorgeous version that is on the cover!

We started a fun little tradition at our very first Market in Houston, of taking photos on the orange couch we hauled down from Colorado. You can see last year's photos here. If you are in one of these photos, feel free to share them! Warning: there are a LOT of photos!
