Big patchwork cushions: blue.

I finished the bigger bluer version of this pillow. I bought a sort of chenille upholstery fabric at Spotlight, it was pretty cheap and feels soft and sturdy. 

It's synthetic, not cotton, so it flops around more and is harder to sew, and the edges of my patchwork were not straight, but as always, once you turn it the right way and put it on the pillow it looks fine. European pillows are cool. Very nice to snuggle up on. I have the pink pillowcase folded away because this is my new favourite—the pink cover is smaller than the blue one, so the cushion inside is fuller and firmer. That's a good tip—overestimate your cushion insert size if you want plump pillows.


I have crossed a few tasks off my UFO list last weekend!
