Hello! John from Quilt Dad here…
As soon as I saw Pat Bravo's newest collection, Rock 'n
Romance, I knew I wanted to make my next Fat Quarter Gang project with this
beautiful fabric. I love the line's
description on the Art Gallery Fabrics website: “Girly Girl turns into Wild
Child in this daring collection. Feminine prints in subdued hues reveal your
inner rockstar.”
Not only do I think
this fits Rock 'n Romance to a “T”, but it convinced me that the project needed
to be something perfect for a little rockstar in my life: my 8 year-old
daughter that is (almost frighteningly) morphing from a girly girl into a bit
of a wild child!

I decided to make a fashionable and stylish piece of room
décor for her bedroom: a reading pillow for her bed. I made it in my absolute favorite size: a 16”
x 26” lumbar pillow – small enough to make in an afternoon, but sizeable enough
to show off some amazing fabrics and be truly functional as a reading and
lounging pillow.

To give it a little extra personality, I added some
vintage-inspired crochet flowers that I picked up at a local chain store. Pillows are a great vehicle for trying some
new things with fabric embellishment – stamping, iron-on transfers, beading,
patches, trims … think outside the box, and give something new a try!
Materials needed:
- 9 fat quarters of Rock 'n Romance
- 1 fat quarter of Natural Elements
- A piece of scrap fabric or muslin measuring
16.5” x 26.5” - A piece of batting measuring 16.5” x 26.5”
- Fabric for envelope back: 2 pieces of fabric
measuring 16.5” x 30.5” each - 16” x 26” pillow insert (I got mine from Pottery
Barn) - Optional: vintage-inspired embellishments, like
the crochet flowers I got at a local craft shop
