Log Cabin Pillow

Today I have a new pillow to share with you all. I desperately want to replace some old and worn out furniture, but since I cannot afford to at the moment I decided to spend my weekend rearranging all the old crap. You know, to see if it looks better from a different corner of the room ;-) And it does sorta kinda..

little corner

Bought some pretty flowers and made a pillow from some leftovers of my + & x blocks {the quilt top is coming together nicely}. I love log cabin pillows, simple but very effective. This is now my favorite corner of the house.

Now I need to visit some good car boot sales, thrift shops , fleamarkets or whatever it is called in your neck of the woods for some lovely bargains!


Happy wednesday,
