Q3 - orange peels finished


When Jess wrote that the link up for Orange peels QAL will be opened tomorrow, I knew I had to finish my cushion.
Quilty Habit

It is also on my FAL Q3 list which means another tick off. I'm at 4/12.


The background grey appears a lot lighter on pics and I don't know why. It is couch cushion that is why it is wider (20.5x13.5"). I actually put in one of those that came with the couch. Yes we used those but these days are over, lol.


The back is simple. There is just hidden zipper. I love this type of zipper because you can use any color. Secret revealed! I don't match hidden zippers like I usually do with exposed one.


I was thinking about binding the cushion. I even prepared double fold binding in grey but I decided on this simple look and I like it. It is not the first time I used this fabric/color combo. Do you remember my Divided basket?


Oh yes. My current fav combo.
What am I up to next? Another cushion. The front panel is ready to be quilted. More about this one once is done.

    Great finish! I am so tempted by orange peels... but I still have a healthy level of trepidation about appliqué. Maybe one of these days!

    Nothing like a deadline to help us be productive, is there? :) I don't blame you for not making hidden zippers too matchy - what's the point? Also, I hope you have been having a good week - I've been thinking about you!!

    Vera, your orange peel cushion turned out great! I love the colors against the tweedy grey, in both the pillow and your divided basket. Very nice! Good looking start on your next cushion too!

    Very nice. Your new cushion cover looks Christmassy to me, like a wreath. Come to think of it, your orange peel cushion is reminding me of Christmas lights. My mind must be feeling the Christmas spirit at the moment.

    Love the hand-stitching with the orange peels. And the grey background is nice contrasting the rainbow.
