pillows, huzzah.

aight, so i posted a while back about wedding gifts for my boyfriend's bro...

we will probably make something else as well, but the boyfriend had an idea of making pillows...

his brother writes and illustrates comics, and he has a series with characters that are mostly animals [rabbit, fox, turtle, etc.]. so my boy had the idea of making pillows featuring some of these characters. he blew up scenes from the comic books that featured 4 characters, and we ended up using felt to layer the different features of each characters [we traced each shape of the face on wax paper and then used that as a template on the felt]. it looks REALLY frickin' bad ass and very detailed. we also used embroidery floss to make lines in the faces, etc.

so ANYWAY, my question is...since we are done with our little felt buddies, what fabric would you suggest using for the pillows? we are just going to sew the felt guys right on the pillow. they are supposed to be form over function, so it doesn't matter too much how comfy the fabric is, but what do you think would go well with felt? i am not too cultured in the fabric dept.

thanks in advance, and i shall post pictures when they are done.
