pillow talk

We've had two of these basic, floppy, hand-me-down, floor pillows for awhile now. They've been well used, even though they match NO room of our house. I had recently kicked and shoved stuffed them ever so gently inside of Keely's playtent because I was tired of looking at their pink stained selves. Well, I finally made some gigantic covers (about 3ft. x 3ft.) for them to match our living room… or our study.
 
The fronts are in polka dots (Moda's Old Fashioned Charm) and the back of the pillows are in some really soft thrifted sheets (blues/tans/greens).  I takes me sooooo long to measure and cut out material, especially big pieces. I have all the tools to use for measuring and cutting accurately, but it still takes for.flippin'.ever. 
Well, I am so glad to have the pink things covered at last. This sewing thing is coming in quite handy 'round here. 
And what is with me making all these cold weather things now? Blankets and pillows when it's 90 degrees and the humidity is already cranking! That ain't right. I should be making an air conditioner and some ice cubes.
