Assemble the Pillow
The pillow comes together quickly at the end. In a flash, your material will go from being bits of fabric to becoming a fabulous home accessory.

1. Join the pillow-front pieces. Machine-sew the three pillow-front pieces together, and press the seams toward the darker fabric.

2. Attach the hexagons. Lay out your hexagon design, and pin it to the pillow front. Hand-stitch the hexagons to the pillow, taking care to keep the stitches invisible.

3. Sew the sides. On a flat surface, lay the pieced front fabric right-side up, and then lap the two back pieces in the center with the wrong sides up. Machine-sew around all four sides with a 1⁄2-inch seam allowance, and turn it right-side out. Insert the pillow form and fluff.
