A Link to the Past Maps Pillow

It took me about 2+ years, but I have finally completed both of the maps from A Link to the Past, and today I was able to turn them into a little pillow. It was my first time really using a sewing machine, which was both fun and terrifying. I also decided to use minimal stuffing as I wanted the maps to be mostly flat, and then curved along the edges near the clouds. Overall it looks great as a decorative pillow. Thanks again Servotron for making these awesome patterns! Now that they're complete I really don't know what to make next.

I've been trying so hard to talk myself out of putting these on my stitch list for quite some time now. But now that I see yours finished I think I'm going to have to add them. These look truly exceptional, and I love the pillow idea.

They sure took a long time. It's still very odd knowing they are done and my scroll frame is empty. But I bet I'll be able to find another large project on this site to make me feel better.

It's actually one pillow with the light world on one side and the dark world on the other. I was really worried about sewing the aida together as I wasn't sure if it would stretch of tear, but it seems to be much sturdier than I thought.

Did you sew them together just like normal fabric on a sewing machine? I need to add some more aida to a project of mine (didn't measure first....oops) but I'm unsure as to how to do it.
