Air Force Star

This lovely quilted pillow is the first item I ever made with the foundation paper piecing technique. I really enjoy this process and have many plans for using it in the future!

It is a brilliant original design by Marcia Hohn. The pattern can be found: http://www.quilterscache.com/A/AirForceStarBlock.html .



I quilted the back as well and used an 'invisible' zipper along one side. I really enjoyed making this block and turning it into a pillow. Pillows this size are what I call 'knee pillows.' They are prefect for side sleepers.

 
(I think) I made it in May of 2009 as a graduation/ commissioning gift.
