I'm glad I unearthed it though, finished a seam or two, quilted, and backed it because it makes a lovely pillow.
There's also something weirdly satisfying about reviving a nearly dead project and making use of it. It's like cutting up holey clothes to work into patchwork. It just appeals to us(you know who you are) in a very basic way.
Also, lest you think this is the only project receiving a healthy dose of resuscitation, I'm working on an abandoned dress as well as have the potential for 4 other pillow tops. And, that might be a conservative estimate. Seems like what I thought was not a hot idea in the past looks downright brilliant to me now!
Before I conclude this entry I should say that, if you like the pattern you see in this pillow, you'll be happy with at least one of the patterns in my newest collection for Moda. The collection doesn't preview until the Fall, but this print, in various wonderful colors, is definitely included.

Oh I'm very glad I'll be able to get this print soon! This pillow is wonderful!
It is funny how we can be cool to a project, and pull it from hiding and love it. I do that often. I love the pattern on the pillow!
Wow, I love the colours in this. I noticed it on your wall in the last post, it looks even more stunning now. Delighted I'll be able to get some of this print too in the future.
It turned out beautifully, I'm glad you came back to it and made it work for you!
Beautiful pillow and the fabric is gorgeous. Keep us posted about that collection.
These really say Spring to me. Beautiful!
Doesn't it feel good to finally finish a project and then you can start another if you haven't already?
I think you pillow has beautiful colors and you must be pleased with the results.
