It was time to pull out my SPRING bed quilts - this week I chose my Batik Mystic Ponds (A Black Cat Creations Pattern). But the big finish this week is the pair of quilted pillow shams, made from tea towels I found at Hobby Lobby. Quilters quilt, so why not take these sweet little tea towels and quilt them.
I removed the hems, sandwiched with left-over batting (Hobbs of course) and quilted a small romantic swirl. I used Kona Cotton (Snow) for the backing and a bright yellow binding. The back has open overlapping panels for easy pillow inserts. The Kona backing is not quilted.
I have always had a little obsession with Tea Towels, so these shams are giving me such great satisfaction. I sure won't be drying any dishes with these towels .... and ..... I see many more projects with my collection in future.

I too love changing my quilts with the seasons. I think it was a genius idea to make pillows from tea towels.
