patchwork pretties

vintage fabric patchwork cushions

I’d been meaning to make some nine-patch cushions for a while.

I got a bit “cushioned out” a while ago and couldn’t quite bring myself to make any cushions of any sort. I thought a bit of inspiration was called for. Which was where Pomme de Jour’s lovely charm squares came in handy.

They certainly did the trick – I had been itchin’ to stitch’em ever since I first set eyes on their myriad floral loveliness. And didn’t I have a lovely time trying out lots of nine-patch combinations!

However, as my stall at the April Fête was at a very family-orientated event and I’d sold out of tweeties, I thought I’d better get a few of those finished first.

But now my patchwork pretties are done.

These two pretties will be making an appearance very soon… possibly even today, if I can get the washing done first 😉

✿ Update:

 

Well, I’ve got the washing done (it helps that both lad and his dad are away for a couple of days, so no new socks to add to the pile) and these two patchwork pretties are now on sale in my shop!

    • Absolutely! Cut yourself some squares (adding a quarter inch all round your finished patch size for a seam allowance), play around with the arrangement of colours (the best bit!) and off you go!
