So after the pain and anguish I went through for weeks, making block after block, falling in love all over again with each one. Then at the end,...... DISASTER!
This Pillow swap has defintly been challenging for me just trying to fit it in my schedule, and then this!!!
The linen idea did kick my butt a little. I have not given up though mind you, I have just put it aside until my frustration goes away. Sometimes you just have to do that you know.
So I kept everything else the exact same, only changing the linen to a Kona cotton in Ash Gray.
Since this pillow swap was on a time crunch it was crucial that I figured out something quick. I also had a last minute decision to add some buttons to the pillow for a little pizzazz. I liked how it turned out, and even in all my randomness the pillow still seemed a little planned out.
I hope to run to the store for another piece of Kona to add to the back and then put it in the mail that same day.
Wish me Luck, that it all works out!
THE BIG REVEAL!!!
