This project was not really as fast I had originally planned. These items have taken up almost all of my spare time for almost two weeks.
You know how we get enthused with a new project and the project keeps growing? That's what happened with this one. Originally I only planned to make a few heart blocks and turn them into a throw for the glider.
They didn't work as a throw because half of the hearts would be upside down. So I decided to turn the hearts into pillows....then I needed something else for the throw...then I remembered the two other chairs....they needed a throw, too...and a pillow.........it just grew and grew!
I did use the orange binding (only on the large throw and you can't really see it in the picture)

I made all of this stuff and only spent $3.00 for fiberfill for the pillows. When I went to buy it, it was 50% off--talk about lucky.
Everything else I had in my stash. The binding and thread for tying must be over a decade old.
I did not actually reduce my fabric stash, though. When I went to buy the fiberfill, they had GREAT sales and I ended up bringing home over 16 yards of 5 different fabrics. Now I have to come up with a new project to use some of it.
These are so colorful! They would rival any quilting items done up in Lancaster County. I can't wait to see them on your deck seating.
