Time to try something slightly different. But still with, you know, patchwork….
Pinterest…oh NO, there goes two hours of my life….but – these, from CluckCluckSew:
How could I see these and not be inspired? I already had a flat round cushion so decided to make a cover without the side gusset as an experiment. Side A and Side B:
Nice way to use up oddly shaped scraps, and being flat this would work on a stool, I guess. The next round one will have a side like the original design. I emailed the blogger, Allison Harris, to be sure she didn’t mind me linking back to her and using her pic, and she said she was happy for me to do so. Nice lady. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial, Allison xxx

They’re lovely, like pretty flowery pinwheels :)

Very nice cushion! Cluck Cluck Sew is one of my favourite quilting blogs.
She’s wonderful. I’ll be following along with you from now on…. :)
Like the cushion. Another string to your bow! Can I say that I think that style of cushion looks better with the larger cloth covered button
Thanks. I agree, fabric covered button looks better. I have some blank ones somewhere…..
I’ve always liked the look of this type of cushion. Yours are very, very pretty :-) The best ones I’ve ever seen, though, were made of deconstructed men’s ties, gorgeous colours and patterns.
lovely idea :) No ties around here, unfortunately :(
Nor here, much… Now, in England, it’d be a different story.
Gorgeous! My grandma had made cushions like these when I was little in a gorgeous teal colour theme. She liked doing it so much she made a quilt where the blocks were these circles too:)
I have vowed never to quilt, although I can imagine your grandma’s quilt was wonderful :)
Lol I love quilting but now limit myself to just baby quilts to welcome new wee ones into my circle:)
Such pretty cushions, Jill. I have been following Cluck Cluck Sew for a few years, its one of my favourite quilting blogs.
I’m so glad I found her. See you soon, I think, Gail? x
Are you covering your buttons with fabric? If you are, how do you do it?
I haven’t done any yet. I know I have some of those blank things somewhere….maybe you could come and help me find the box?
