Did your dolly have a quilt or little patchwork blanket when you were little? Odds are that if you did, it probably featured the Postage Stamp pattern. The Postage Stamp block (a simple nine-block patchwork) is the quintessential stash busting pattern. For this design, I wanted to utilize the gorgeous gradient sets from SweetGeorgia Yarns to create a modern ombre effect for the front of a buttoned pillow. The pixelated result is stunning!
