A Friend For My Pillow
I decided my couch looked kind of funny with one fall pillow (my Autumn Star Pillow) and one regular pillow. So I made a friend for Autumn Star.
I wanted to use the same general fabrics but not the same design, so I made a couple columns of flying geese. I chose to paper piece them because I’m just so much more exact when I use that technique. I didn’t make a tutorial but I did make a PDF of the templates I whipped up to use. You can download it here.
I was able to fit 10 on one sheet of paper but you’ll need to print 2 sheets if you want to make a pillow like mine. You’ll have a few leftover. If you’ve never paper pieced before – these are easy! I have a tutorial on the technique here.
I think they look happy together!

Ooh, friends are always good! They make you happy, and they make the people that see them together happy as well! Such lovely friends!
So cute together! I love the Mama Said Sew fabrics.
They turned out really cute! Man I need to start to make some of this stuff for my house!
Very nice, Faith! Your pillow friends are adorable!
Love them together and you made me smile too.
Very cute, Faith!
Bonus! I was drooling over this fall stars blocks earlier, and now I get to see her/his? buddy! They go so well together, and I love how your fabric choice updates and freshens the whole look! THANK YOU for the flying geese PP templates and tute. Been looking for one and I knows yours will work
They look wonderful together. Where do you find all your fabric with text?
Hi Patti! The text fabrics I used in these projects are both from Sweetwater for Moda. One is from their Hometown collection and one is from their Mama Said Sew collection.
Thanks so much, Faith. Now I can add some of the text fabric to my quilts. I love your blog and all the wonderful quilting/sewing ideas and information you share.
thanks for the templates. Some time ago I made a row of flying geese and was very disappointed how bad I was on not cutting of points, centering and sewing those in generell. So next time I’ll be prepared.
these look so lovely together, Faith.
This pair of pillows looks really great! I love the fabrics, especially the text print on the back.
I think your pillows are great! Love how they are different but the same.
beautiful. and thanks for the PDF
Adorable!! I love the colors too! Thanks for the pdf!
Love them. You’ve inspired me. I want seasonal pillows for my couch. But I gotta get rid of this old worn out print one and get me a new (to me) solid leather. Ohh I’ve been waiting so long. Maybe soon!
Thanks for sharing the inspiration.
Thank you for the templates. Love your pillows!
Yummy together Faith! Everything is better with Sweetwater in it! I am dreaming of some fall pillows for my couch. I found an orange sham at goodwill last week for starters, i havebeen thinking she needs some friends. Thanks for the PDF . Janita

That’s a lovely combo. Nice work!
I love seeing new fresh takes on quilting.
