• Step 1

  I found instructions on creating these fun designs at this website:
  http://www.homegoods.com/blog/2011/09/25/make-your-own-geo-pillows-with-stripes/

  To make the two pillows shown, start by cutting four squares from your fabric 2" larger than your finished size. Make sure that the pattern is symmetrical on the square.

• Step 2

  Cut the squares diagonally to make four triangles from each square.

  Now, swap the triangles, so that you have two sets of triangles (for front and back of a pillow) that form a square and two sets of triangles that form a cross.

  Pin carefully, so the stripes line up. Sew the triangles together to re-form squares, using a 1/2" seam allowance.

  Iron the seams flat and sew the new squares into pillows by putting right sides together and sewing around the edge, leaving a space for turning and stuffing the pillow.

  The last step is to slipstitch closed the opening.
