Guest Post - Great Granny Star Pillow - Free Tutorial

Hello, Friends!
I'm guest posting again over at
for a new 3-part series.

We're going to use some of the brand-new fabric
from V and Co for Moda...

{I used a fat quarter bundle, but this project is layer-cake and charm-pack friendly.}



I've discovered a brand-new way to put zippers on a pillow,
and I'll show you how to do that, too, in the same post.


Best of all...I've designed a brand-new quilt block,
called the Granny Star!


The finished project is this brand-new pillow!


Oh, yeah, and it's reversible!


Yep - that's a BIG pillow...about 22" square!
I call it the "Great Granny Star Pillow".
If that's a bit too big for your taste, don't worry.
Soon I'll be sharing two more Granny Star projects,
with down-sized blocks.

I hope you'll join me over at
Bear Creek Quilting Company for this new series!

  5. Zippers are my nemesis Amy, so I have to know how you made that one!
    I see why you named the pillow Granny Star - it looks like an afghan style Granny square, but with a star, A really awesome pillow and the colors are fantastic! Okay, i'm waddling off to Bear Creek.
