Another Cushion Start

I've made a start on another cushion pressie for one of my nieces using this little lot of Riley Blake gorgeousness -



Isn't that brolly fabric just so cute?

This will be the front piece and then I'll do a wee bit of quilting in the ditch to hold it all together and then, if all goes to plan (she says very cautiously), I'm going to try a wee bit of hand-quilting with perle cottons to pick out a few of the umbrellas in the central panel.




And, if all that goes well, I might try something else new to me when I make-up the cushion back, but more of that another time (I hope)!

  6. I LOVE these fabrics. The way you have them laid out in the first photo I thought you were going to make a pillowcase. I seem to see pillowcases a lot!
