Boho Style Pillow Pattern

The Boho Style Pillow pattern by Lynne Wilson is a delightful mix of relaxed charm and classic technique. It’s part of her Quilt a Pillow series and includes three unique pillow designs, each built around the versatile half square triangle unit. The featured block, Broken Dishes, is a traditional favourite that creates dynamic movement with simple geometry—perfect for playing with contrast and colour.

Here’s what makes this pattern especially appealing:

• Beginner-friendly: It’s a great introduction to half square triangles, with clear construction steps and manageable project sizes.
• Scrap-happy: Ideal for using up leftover fabric from larger projects—think of it as a mini gallery for your favourite prints.
• Boho aesthetic: The layout encourages a relaxed, eclectic look. You can lean into that with earthy tones, textured solids, or even heritage fabrics like Ajrakh or Dreamtime-inspired prints for a meaningful twist.
• Quick finish: These pillows are satisfying weekend makes—great for gifting or refreshing your space.

If you’re thinking of coordinating them with a larger quilt or using them as a test run for colour placement, they’d pair beautifully with something like Past Times for a cohesive, layered look. Want to explore fabric combos or maybe a matching quilted throw?
