guess what? i made another cushion! they're just so 'quick' and fun to make in the middle of big quilt-y projects! when i saw jessies amazing quilt i knew i had to make the block, but i didn't want to make a big quilt, so a cushion was the obvious answer.
i went to my fabric closet and pulled all the navy fabrics i had, it such a good colour, it might even be replacing my favourite aqua colour! i paired them with a small blue pin-dot on white, which was actually surprisingly hard to find, i think it just adds to the cuteness factor.
the block is mostly made up of HST's (half square triangles) and i found that i don't totally hate trimming them, dare i say i found it quite enjoyable while *singing* loudly along with frozen! the four blocks themselves didn't quite make my cushion cover big enough, so i added borders in the most prettiest heather bailey check/plaid-type fabric (along with navy, plaid is quickly becoming a favourite)
this cushion is for sale and listed in my etsy shop
you can find the cushion cover here

ReplyDeleteAdorbs! This is so refreshing . Why don't I ever think of making a cushion?!
ReplyDeleteRachael it's AMAZING! I just love it, so pleased you jumped in on the nautical fun ;-) Now I must get my butt in gear and finish mine, agh I wish the quilting fairies would do the quilting part for me! xo
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! :D
ReplyDeleteI've just been for a short meander around your blog and so far I love all that you've made. The sail boat cushions are lovely, I've used the pattern myself for a buggy quilt and really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI've only managed a short visit today, but I will be back as it's nice to see other UK based quilters.
Bye for now,
Jules
Looks gorgeous. I know someone who'd love something like that - on the Christmas list now!
