The mystery quilt blocks are quite a large size (18.5") which is perfect for cushion covers.
As promised here is the simple cushion cover construction I mentioned last week
The patchwork block has been quilted and squared. Also I have sewn the layers together so that it is easier to finish.
For the back of the cushion I cut two pieces of fabric 18.5" by 12.5"
On both pieces of fabric - neaten one edge, by folding the fabric half and inch over to the wrong side on one of the 18.5" sides, and fold over again. Press and stitch this edge.
Place one of the backing fabric pieces right side together on one side of the quilted block.
Overlap the second piece of fabric to make a simple opening on the back.
Stitch all round the edge of the cushion cover.
Turn the rightside out and add a cushion pad
Place in your favourite spot and enjoy.
Here are some more photos of mystery quilts in progress.
Cherry has made hers larger and added the borders. She has also told me that she is now quilting it. It is looking fabulous
Marilyn has created these stunning blocks and has nearly finished piecing the quilt.
I love seeing your work. If you would like to share your quilt on the blog you can message your photos via my Facebook page. ( link below)
Anne from Tudor Rose brought in the chicken she made ( from some very sketchy instructions I gave her ) Despite my poor effort with the instructions she has made this wonderful Easter Chicken all ready to be filled with Easter Eggs.
Isn't he great.
