Mother's Day Project- Tulip Pillow

Last year, I made my mother-in-law a tulip quilt.  I made a matching pillow for this year's gift.  I found my inspiration at Twin Fibers and I thought...I can do that.  I think this is my first pillow ever.  Boy, there are so many cute ideas out there, aren't there???

 My husband isn't fond of the pillowcase style and the ribbons, but I love ribbon.  I think it is just the ticket.  Plus this matches perfect.  I almost didn't quilt the front, but I really wanted that quilted look.  I thought my quilting might be rusty, but actually I was quite pleased with this one...especially considering my husband called me on the telephone 5 times while I was free motion quilting.  Lucky I didn't run over a finger.  I liked how the 18 inch pillow filled it up a bit more, but it stuck a bit out of the end. 

  Is anyone else working on Mother's Day gifts?  I'd love to know what you are up to.
