African Pillow Shams

A dear friend of mine went on a once in a lifetime trip to Africa and brought back some fabric. She asked me to make two pillow shams from it and I have to be honest--I was afraid to cut into it! Not like I could run out and get more! Isn't is beautiful? Luckily, they turned out great, though I would have liked to make the overlap bigger in the back.

There is some scrap fabric left over . . . I think I may do something special with it. I'll post it here if I do!
