W.I.P. Wednesday:: the Pleated Boxes Pillow Sew Along

I think I'll do a Work In Progress Wednesday. Yes, why not?  I'm loving this Sew Along hosted by Lindsay at Craft Buds, but seriously, what am I going to do with this pillow when it's finished?  I'm supposed to be packing for moving to Canada in August, not making more things to pack!!  I might have to either not stuff it with batting, or give it away. 

So far I've got the pillow top all put together, and I've created the "messy pleats".  I wasn't supposed to do that much, but I jumped ahead because I couldn't help it!  I wanted to see what the pleats looked like.  I'm loving the way my Amy Butler scraps look with the white in this pillow.  It's all crisp and cool, and summery at the beach, all at the same time.

If you want the free pattern for the Pleated Boxes Pillow, it's still available for download here.  Get yourself one!  It's Ca-UTE!

And this is what my pillow should look like when it's done:

Thank you for looking,
