Civil War Reproduction Fabric Crazy Quilt Pillows

Mr. P asked me to make him a couple of pillows for our bench. I asked him what he wanted exactly and he asked if I had any more fabric left from the Civil War reproduction (Twister) quilt I made him a few years ago. I did have a lot of scraps left, so he asked for a crazy quilt style and he wanted both sides of the pillow made that way. He was very specific that he did not want the back to have a flap (for inserting the pillow form). It took me a day to make the crazy pieced front and back sections and then I sewed them the sides and stuffed in the pillow forms the next day. He really likes them and I am happy that he does.

Here are the 2 pillows, side A.

Here is side B for the pillows.

I started them all with a 5 sided shape and sewed pieces all around log cabin style.

Mini Quilt: "Fabric? What Fabric?"

I gave this as a holiday gift to a quilter at my quilt guild. I painted the woman with fabric paints and added some embellishments.

I used batik scraps and sewed crazy quilt like strips around the painted woman piece.

I painted this fabric with the woman I got from a book of copyright-free quilt drawings.
