This pillow doesn’t require a lot of fabric to make a statement. For the pillow front, buy pre-cut squares, fat eighths, or fat quarters. Scrap collectors can raid their stashes. When selecting fabric, you will need a light, a dark, and two medium values of each color. I used red, yellow, blue, and green plus black and gray.
