Bird Pillows

I took the pillows on my futon, took them apart, used the cording, and the stuffing to make these new pillows to go with my decorating scheme in the family room.  I also made the pillows a little smaller, and I like the size better and they are a little fuller being smaller.

I am excited for my birthday because I "think" my mom is getting me a new black futon cover which will go with the curtains and pillows.  I am VERY excited!

I put the zipper in the seam between the two sides and the cording.  The first pillow I had no problem, the second one I put the zipper in then completely took it out and did it again.  I don't know if I did it the best way, but oh well it is done!

I have also been working on a quilt for the family room, and I am soooo EXCITED about it.  Actually I am making 2 quilts!  But I have only done serious work on the one.  I am going to pin base very soon!

Before and After picture of the pillows.  You can see the size difference.
