Pinterest-Inspired Pillow

Another project I tackled today was making a Pinterest-inspired state-to-state pillow for Jess. You know, the ones where here are two states with a heart in the middle and a dotted line connecting them? Obviously the states I used were Florida and Tennessee, since that's where they're moving. I also used orange and blue because, well, we're Gators. It was my first time doing applique - and I think I might want it to be my last. Maybe I started with too-hard of a shape, with these jagged-edged states, but it was super time-consuming. I hand-turned the wheel myself for at least half of each state. All in all, I think it turned out okay. Not the best looking thing ever, but I know it will be more sentimental than anything. (Did you notice how many hyphenated words I had here?)
