The Reveal: Half Circle Pillows!

I was recently asked by Online Fabric Store if I wanted to do a project with a new craft pillow form from their site, and then post about it.  I thought "how fun?!"  So I chose their 20 inch half circle down pillow form because of its interesting and potentially challenging shape.

 

When it came in the mail (it shipped fast!), I was surprised at how nice it felt; it's 95% goose feather and 5% goose down!  Then I was left with "ok, what do I make?"  My first idea was to make a solid crochet cover and just play with the colors.  So I made this one and liked it, but then, being inspired by the circle afghan I was working on, wanted to try coming up with my own granny triangle/circle pattern.  After much trial and error....

I came up with this!  I'm really happy with it!!  And because I couldn't decide on how I wanted to do the colors with this pattern, I made the back a little different....

It's like two pillows in one!  And want to know something more exciting?  I took a ton of pictures as I made both pillow covers (the solid and the granny triangle/circle), and am going to post tutorials soon!  In the meantime, my pillow is going to be looking pretty darn good on my bed!
