Quilted Geometric Throw Pillows

Quilted Geometric Throw Pillows

Geometric PillowsMy living room needed a good sprucing up, so I whipped up these quilted geometric throw pillows! I was inspired by the pillows Elizabeth Hartman made a few years ago. I made both of these pillow tops using half squared triangles (HST). Boy do I love a HST-- there are endless possibilities for patterns using these little guys. Sew Mamma Sew has a great tutorial for making 8 HST at a time, which speeds up the process tremendously!

Chevron PillowI arranged the HSTs into a chevron print for this one.
