How about a fun scrap-friendly project that takes almost no time to stitch up?! I made this bench pillow out of bits and pieces I had left over from another project.

I made a couple of pillows with two different size trapezoids to see how I liked the scale of these flowers. Of course, I love the smaller scale, and that’s
