Just finished and now hoping to get it in the post ASAP.
As I said the cushion is for my niece and the colour was based on a quillow made for her by my Mum. I cheekily asked for the leftovers and set to work adding in scraps of linen from my stash. Linen is a favourite for making clothes and there are always bits left over from cutting out patterns so I have quite a collection and luckily much of it is blue!
After piecing together the front, I quilted it onto a piece of cotton wadding.
There was no great plan so it was very much make it up as you go along...

As the nights are drawing in, the machine quilting was mainly done in artificial light
but I managed to find some daylight hours to add in some hand quilting..
Can't believe the cheek of this little fellow who decided to take a look!
The blue shirt used for the reverse of the cushion actually came from my brother..her Dad..
So all in all it was a bit of an eclectic mix,
with a big dash of love and good luck wishes in there too.
