I have have made a whole slew of things for my boys bedroom from quilts to pillowcases to floor pillows to wall hanging so I had lots and lots of little scraps left over.  I had strips from Jelly Rolls, I had little charm pieces and I  had a few left over 10″ by 10″ Layer Cake pieces so I decided to cut it up and make them a decorative pillow.  We used Reunion by Sweetwater but sad to say this line came out years ago and it very hard to find now.  However, Sweetwater recently came out with another collection, Boat House that looks very similar.

Then I started sewing.  I used a whole bunch of 2 1/2″ scrap squares but you could do this with what ever size square you want.  A charm pack would work well.  We used a 1/4″ seam for this project.

Now add two strips on the right and the left.  Each strips should be 8 1/2″ x 2 1/2″.
