my big pillow

big crocheted pillow

I finished this huge, crocheted pillow this week! It is about 2 feet across. It was lots of fun to make! I took all of my yarn stash and used almost every color I had. I made this side a rainbow (of course...)

...and forced myself to avoid rainbow order and mixed up the colors for this side. I can't decide which side I like better! I really love this pillow because it's so big and poofy. It took almost 2 full bags of stuffing to stuff it!
I didn't use a pattern for this, (I have a mental block against most crochet patterns) it's just granny style circles. I discovered I really enjoy crocheting big, round things. In fact, I've already started my next big, round crochet project, a rag rug made from strips of recycled sheets and fabric!
Here it is so far:
