A New Pillow

I made the decision to take an old red and gold pillow apart and make a new cover so Ronnie could use it when he lays back in his new recliner.  The pillow was not shaped like other pillow that I have made and so I had to make things up as I went along.  I used old scraps and cut them into 22 inch strip and different widths ranging from 2 inches to 4 inches.  It was the ends that gave me the most trouble.  I cut ovals and basted along the edges trying to get a good fit.  Sorry to say it looked ridiculous and I had to resew the ends by hand.  I made the ovals much to large.  It is not perfect but not bad either.
