Pillow Sham

This is the pillow sham I made for the Choo-Choo Train Quilt.

I think any one with this pattern for the quilt, could easily use the characters to applique and make a sham along with it.

I used the same shape for the train and then based the rest of my measurements off of that. I originally planned on stuffing this and making a pillow, but then I realized that on a toddler bed, it may have to be washed from time to time and buying a pillow to stick in a pillow sham is much easier! 🙂

Here is the back of the pillow sham.

I didn’t do it exactly right. I think I had a little too much fabric for the back, but thankfully it’s the back and not seen often.

I love how it turned out, and it goes so well with the quilt.

It’s amazing how a quilt and a pillow sham can completely
change a baby room into a little boy’s room.
So sad and so fun all at the same time!
