My Maypole Quilted Floor Pillow

Yesturday after a pretty productive day with quilting customer quilts and cleaning up around here, I went to my mom's place for dinner.  I brought along my Maypole quilted pieces and assembled it there.  I had to put in a zipper and hadn't done that in a long while, so I was able to have my mom there in case I needed some help with it.  

It went well with putting it together.  The tutorial was very detailed and a bit of humor in there too.  I would recommend any patterns from Suzy Quilts.  They are detailed and if there is something that she feels may be difficult, she makes a YouTube tutorial to refer to.

This is my finished floor pillow.  I made this pillow with the fat quarter bundle that I won at the 2022 Acton Fall Fair.  The prize was sponsored by Norcott Fabrics.  The only extra fabric I used was the purple going down the middle, as that piece was bigger than a fat quarter and the fabric for the bottom of the pillow.  May not have been my first choice in colours, but it is only a pillow after all and I wanted to us up what I had on hand. 

Here is a picture of the top of the pillow.  I think it looks cute.  It is definitely comfy with the height.

If anyone is interested, this is the pattern that I bought from Suzy Quilts.  This is for the floor pillow only.  If you want to make the Maypole design for the top, you would have to purchase that one separately or you could just use any block that would give you the measurement of the piece you need.

Mine looks a little fatter, but I do like how comfy it is....lol.  I'll use it some and see if it works.  I didn't do a lining pillow yet, so if I find it is too fat, I can make the lining pillow and remove some of the stuffing.  The type of stuffing used is per Suzy's instructions.

I plan on using this as a booster seat when I go on retreat and as a yoga/meditation cushion.  

Hope everyone is having a great day!  Still some daylight left of this day, so take advantage of it, especially since the temperature is so nice (for Canada in February anyways).

Take care everyone and don't forget to take some time for yourself.
