Gum Drop Pillows 
Sometimes you find things that are just supposed to go together. Like Amy Butler’s Gum Drop Pillow pattern and Heather Bailey’s Pop Garden, Pop Daisy fabric.

Isn’t it just cool as cool beans how the pattern creates a kaleidescope like pattern? It took some careful planning and cutting to get everything to line up just so but the effort was well worth it for these results. Even with the extra care needed to get every piece cut precisely this project didn’t take that long at all. Probably just a hair over 2 hours from start to finish. (I really intended to mark the time but got so into what I was doing that I forgot!) Honestly, the stuffing took longer than the sewing.

This is the second pillow/ottoman I’ve made from this pattern. Yesterday afternoon I decided to make the larger (24″) size out of some Amy Butler home dec. fabric. It went together so quick that I decided to make the smaller one with the Heather Bailey fabric this morning.
