So, I have two weddings this weekend - my cousin's and my for-decades employer's daughter. What to give, what to give. Cushions? Perfect.
Bosses daughter is having french navy bridesmaids with orange accents. I can do that! I deliberately didn't quilt them and went with a modern improv circle to stop them being too patchworky.
I can't resist a pretty button.
And a two fat quarter back. They are 20 inch inserts so full without being massive.
And one for my cousin. I kept to neutrals for this one purely for (hopefully) ease of use for her.
More buttons!!
And the perfect hoarded backing from my stash.
I opted for a piping rather than a binding again to keep the patchworky look to a minimum. It was sheer happenstance that it also makes them quicker to finish.
So one has already been gifted and one is about to be. Awesome. They fell together nice and quick (once I remembered to buy the zips) which is just as well since we've been having major dental shenanigans this week. But more on that another day, this has taken all evening to write and bed is calling!
The buttons are a lovely addition!

ReplyDeleteGood finish on those! I always hate piping round those corners! I am sure there is an easy trick to it, I just haven't found it yet!
