The one on the left was made by accordion pleating the fabric, pressing each fold with the iron and then calmping with clothespins. The one on the right was made by loosely accordion pleating (no ironing) and tying with string.
I used ProChem's Midnight Blue for the dye. It has a slight periwinkle hue which looks better with my couch than the Navy dye does. The quilt over the couch is one I made several years ago and I used the same Midnight Blue for that.
I made four pillows for my sister using Navy Blue, which look great on her white couch and love- seat in her living room.
I'm linking up with Off the Wall Friday.

Your cushions are just lovely and I do admire your wallhanging too!
The pillows are great. Love the dark blue. Also the wall hanging got my attention.
Nice! They look great in your room!
Love these!
The pillows are beautiful.
We won't talk about the beautiful Chinese Red blouse I made that I could only wear once because it shrank so when I washed it. Thereafter, I prewash and dryer every fabric I buy.
i love the pillows! I thought they might be indigo til i read on.
will go back and enjoy your wall quilt again! thanks for sharing your art!
I've noticed uneven shrinkage too. It's one reason prewashing is a good idea. The quilt over the sofa is gorgeous. I wonder if I might use it as inspiration for an rainbow scrap challenge?? It would be for me, not to show... LeeAnna
