I wanted to turn the scraps from quilt into something. I shared some sneak peak last week and this is how it all ended up. The cold and warm once again.
These are double sided just like the quilt. No, I did not make 4 cushions. The zipper is on the side.
The front is improv. First I sewed the triangle scraps into squares and added whatever was needed. I call it A style = anyhow.
The B side is just like on the quilt. Easy peasy jelly roll style. I used the leftovers and lucky for me I had just enough. Would be fun to have it quilted the same way as the quilt but I'm definitely not at that level so straight lines will do.
The front is quilted sort of straight lines A style :-) I tried to keep the spacing similar to the back. There are just squares in square and rectangles whatever. Not FMQ I was rotating the whole thing doing straight stitch. The whole package was safe and well received which brings much needed relief to my soul :-)
If you fancy piece of Argyle summer hop over to my giveaway post it ends this Sunday.
