You may remember that I had some squares left over from making a blanket for my lovely Miss L and I decided to use them to make a cushion.
Well here it is.
And as I still had a few squares to use I worked them in along with the stripes for the back.
I originally started this project a few weeks ago when I discovered the Apache Tears pattern by Sara London which ended up being a cushion in it’s own right. It made sense to make them into a pair so the stripy back matches the apache tears cushion.
And to keep the pairing I used a similar pattern to make the flower buttons.
And finished with a simple edging.
I am very happy with how this pair work together.
Or using the face of the stripy backs.
