Summer pillows and bunting

I've decided that in our family room I'll make new zippered pillow covers on a regular basis--adds variety to the room and also will force me to wash the covers more often! I wanted to make some that were kind of summery, so I decided to use this cute Michael Miller patriotic fabric. I love the look of these--especially the one with the bunting on it (white background) and the one that looks like exploding fireworks (blue and white). I made this bunting last summer and have decided that seasonal bunting is the way to go with these windows (had considered some kind of valance, but thought that two valances would look fussy/busy, and one over both windows might look like a unibrow). It softens the harshness of window edges but still looks hip and fresh. Sorry about the closed shades . . . it was so bright outside that I had to pull them down to cut down on the glare.
