Christmasy Pillow

So I'm going to call this one a really early sewing project for Christmas 2016.  ;) 

At the end of November, I made a big batch of Christmas hexagon coasters that I used as teacher and friend gifts and I even kept a couple for myself as well.  When I cut out at the hexagons for the coasters, there was a stack of perfectly cut 2.5" equilateral triangles.  I tucked them away hoping to do something with them dice I hate to throw out good scraps.  Well, December flew by in a blur of sewing mostly for Christmas gifts and I didn't get a chance to do anything with them until after the New Year.

After things started to settle down and I had had an appropriate break from sewing like a crazy person, I decided that January was going to have a lot of sewing just for myself kind of projects.  So I pulled out those triangles and started sewing.  I ended up having just enough of them to make an 18" throw pillow cover.

 I love how it turned out and I'm a bit sad that it'll be going in a box for a while with the other Christmas decorations.  But, it'll be a lovely treat to be able to pull it out next Christmas and have it sitting happily on my coach.  :)
