His and Hers Pillow Cover
I recently agreed to do a basic quilting tutorial for a couple of the ladies who participate in Virtual Craft Nite. The tutorial was a simple 18-inch pillow cover using 9-patch blocks.

The quilting is finished on my yellow spiral quilt. Now all that’s left to do is the binding. I still haven’t decided how I want to bind it. I’m either going to do a basic 1/4-inch binding in the yellow, or I’m going to do a wider binding (1-2 inches) in the multicolored pattern I…
