I was very happy to get a custom order this week for two cushions. The brief was " anything you like as long as it has lots of pale green in it". The second cushion is going in a raffle that this lady likes to donate to.
This is what I came up with:
This is how it looked before I quilted it...
I showed it to my customer and she liked it so much we agreed that the other one should be like this but in beige and blues.
Somebody asked me if this was a Jennie Rayment design, but unless Jennie has copyright on prairie points then - no, it's my own design.
This is it finished but I need to get to the shops for a cushion pad.
I am loving making these and I confess I have already started another project using these blocks. I'm making a quilt-as-you-go quilt. something I have not done before.
Off to work on that right now!
See you all again soon.
Rhianon.

The pillows are gorgeous. I'm sure the one for the raffle will make lots of money. The quilting is amazing. Thanks for explaining how you stitched the prairie point tips down after quilting.
They both look FANTASTIC Rhianon!! I really love those feathers - my favourite FMQing design too! ... And that Quilting just brings the blocks to life!!! This will be amazing in an QAYG quilt!! ... Could even work in a top-batting-backing normal-size sandwiched quilt, lol, if you have enough room in the arm of the s.machine!
Beautiful quilting! It really makes those cushions look just amazing!
My goodness, such beautiful quilting and such a lovely pillow. I like how you quilted under the prairie points and then attached them. Fun blog entry!
Your pillow is gorgeous. Awesome quilting.
Your quilting is SPECTACULAR!! What beautiful pillows. I'm sure the one for the raffle will bring in a lot of money -- it's gorgeous!
Beautiful!!! I can't decide which I like better, truly beautiful!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie

Oh Rhianon, they are beautiful! It's amazing what the quilting has done to it. Awesome!
gorgeous pillows and stunning quilting - wow! I love your feathers
That is some stunning quilting there!! A perfect example of the role quilting has in a creation!
Very pretty!
Wow, Rhiannon, that is amazing!! Whoop whoop!! I love your feathers, and the medallion in the center is gorgeous, and oh, the prairie points!!!
Rhianon, these pillows are wonderful. I really love the free-flying prairie points on them.
....From a little pillow grows a lovely quilt....waiting to see it....
Is there a reason some of your prairie pints are seam side up and some seam side down? Also wondered why the other one has all the seams upward? Did you just find you preferred them showing the seam? We're you creating a design? It's hard to see and didn't know if it was an accident or on purpose. It is truly a neat design. The quilting really enhances it.
