Q3 - Scrappy cushion


There is something about last minute finish that I can not resist. Unfortunately for you that means no daylight available :)


Over the weekend I picked up zipper. I didn't have any long enough zipper so I used endless type. As you can see in above picture I topstitched on both sides but I decided to make hidden zipper as usual. No I didn't unpick that topstitch, lol.


I went with binding option for clean finish.


I did not measure. To me it is the right size but I have to make insert pillow for it since I don't have any in this size. You can find WiP posts here and there.

It is not only my September goal of ALYoF but it is also on my Q3 FAL list. Once again I was only able to finish two projects during the quarter.

  14. I like your little project list, how cute! I would also like to know how you did that - I could use the organisation! The cushion is beautiful, it's visually striking and I really like how you staggered those greys. Hidden zips and binding is my favourite way to finish a cushion too. Your work is so neat and the piecing and quilting on this is just perfect!

  18. I haven't used the postage stamp technique before, but this really makes me want to. It looks so neat with the HSTs. I really like how you expanded the design to make the pillow cover. But you know what really caught my eye? Your cool post-it note type system for keeping track of your projects.

  20. I am going to have to try the binding method on my next cushion. I have seen a couple recently and they look so smart.
    I still love your scrappy patchwork panel. You have found a great way to incorporate it in something functional.
