Is where both of these pillows will go. We're doing some rearranging around here and needed some floor pillows to go with the low play table in the living room. The goal is that when they're not in use, they will be in the drawer under the table. I'm quite certain that'll happen every time and these will not become dog pillows. Right now they're on the couch, so I can enjoy them for a bit before they go to their rightful home.
The fabrics are leftovers from Christmas projects and they're backed with a heavy brown twill for all that floor sitting. I made them 20" square so that any of us can sit on them. Except the dogs.
I've never been a huge fan of orange, but I have to say I'm really loving the orangey projects you've been showing! Those pillows are great.

They are gorgeous. And I'm sure they will not become dog pillows. I hope they will not become dog pillows. :)

Those are gorgeous! Love the colors. Isn't it great fun to see how a pile of scraps turn into something so wonderful??

Those are so pretty, Sarah! Are you sure you didn't make them to send to my house? Because I was just thinking my 20" pillow covers need replacing... ;)

Gorgeous! All of our pillows end up on the floor anyhow. Whenever the kids sit on the couch, they clear them off!

Something tells me that you're already resigned to what their future will be. (I know my dog would claim one instantly!)
