I had two bright orange fat quarters from when I was browsing in the fabric store in December and my sister gave me a set of darker but pretty fat quarters from Purl Soho. These are the purple shades from that set, and I like how they look together.
Here's the close up shot.
This was a pretty easy project, though I'm not entirely satisfied with how it turned out. I think it's harder to do wonky and make it look purposeful and not accidental that it should be, but for my first real piecing attempt, I thought it was alright. I really should make another pillow case to match this one, as I'm giving it as a gift, but while it wasn't hard, it did take most of my evening yesterday, and I kind of would like to get something else done today. We'll see...

Do you have to give this away? I really enjoy how it looks on your couch there with the curtains in the background.
Also: well done to the sis on the dark fat quarters. I'm very partial to that fabric with the larger black flowers on it.
Also: creepy double posting after weeks of silence!
I know. I was in the middle of posting when I saw...that you had already posted. TOO LATE, I said to myself.
The orange actually is a lighter shade than the orange of my curtains, so I think it's best it find another home.
Hmm, good to know you like that fabric.
AWESOME!!!
Congratulations on taking the plunge. I agree the colors are very nice together.
