Celebrate the festive season with this lovely Christmas pillow pattern. It features colorful gift boxes on a dark background that create a striking contrast. You can use a mini charm pack of 2 1/2″ squares or your own fabric scraps to make the gift boxes. The pillow cover fits an 18″ by 18″ pillow form for a cozy and plump look. You can also turn the pillow cover into a small quilt for your wall or table. The designer, Vanessa Goertzen from Lella Boutique, shows you how to do the vertical matchstick quilting that adds texture and style to the pillow.
