Add One Pillow

Hi Janome friends! I’m Janome Maker, Melanie Call, from A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog and Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff. Today I’m sharing a tutorial on the Add One Pillow.  

The design of the Add One Pillow is inspired by Math Puzzles using half-square triangles. Each quadrant of the Add One Pillow increases by one half-square triangle and creates a fun pattern! I thought it was perfect as it’s Back to School time! 

I created the Add One Pillow using my Janome M17 – which is SEW amazing! I love how easy the Janome M17 is to use and it stitches so beautifully!
