My November 2022 One Monthly Goal was to make a wonky star pillow cover to go with the Northern Lights Wonky Star Quilt that I made last year. I used some Magenta Ombré Fairy Dust fabric, and I bordered the star with some darker leftover Stonehenge Gradations Ombré in Graphite fabric (the lighter fabric was used for the background of the wonky star). I decided not to quilt this pillow cover. I like how it looks unquilted, and I can also take off the envelope enclosure made from Grey Ombré Fairy Dust fabric and quilt it down the road if I choose.
I still have not attached my Northern Lights Wonky Stars quilt to the back of my Offset Gradients quilt. I have decided that I will tack it with a little thread, hopefully sometime this Thanksgiving weekend. Below is a pic with the pillow and its coordinating quilt:

Hi Mary! Love the wonky star and how the pillow turned out. You don’t have to quilt it! I forgot to quilt my Postcard pillow shams for my bed, and they’re still not quilted several years later. As long as you like it, who cares?!! It looks beautiful with the quilt. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

The quilt and pillow look wonderful together. I hope you had a peaceful Thanksgiving and that if you do find time for the hand work this weekend, you enjoy your stitching time.

A perfect finish to go with the quilt! Kudos to you for getting it made–I always think of making coordinating pillows but I’m too quickly starting on my next quilt and so there goes that brilliant idea! LOL
