Cushion Cover




Detail
 Today I've made a cushion cover. The first centre I made was awful so I fell back on a log cabin. the contrast was a bit stark so I added bondawebbed sections of the frame fabric. This is not particularly practical for a cushion which will be used so I'll try to locate some organza to overlay the whole to be machine quilted down.

I love it just like that. What a nifty solution. Do your cushions get such hard use?

A zigzag stitch in the black behind the leaves or the leaf colour will hold the leaves down pretty firmly - or you could always use invisible thread.

If not zigzag (which I find can be practically invisible) then try a decorative stitch.
