Moda Twenty Three Quilted Pillows

I bought a stack of Moda Twenty Three fat quarters at my local quilt shop and just had to tear into them.  I needed a few lumbar pillows for my side chairs and thought this color palette would spice up my neutral upholstery.  I'm pleased with the results.  I used down pillow inserts purchased from Crate and Barrel.  These measure 20" x 13" and the inserts retail for just $10.00 each.  I think that's a pretty good deal for down.

I've quilted both the fronts and the backs with some loose, straight line quilting using white thread.  This technique is a bit time consuming but it is relaxing, mindless work and I like how it turns out.
