Echino cushion no.2

This afternoon I made my second man-cushion, this time for my dear husband.  I am probably a bit daft to have given it straight to him, as it is his birthday in less than a month and I haven't got him anything yet, but he deserves it!




I am 95% happy with it, I had a 'tape measure failure' midway through so it ended up a bit bigger than the cushion pad.  I love the grey and cream combination, and the sneaky panther prowling along the bottom.

  1. It looks great! Throw pillows are my next project, so I love seeing the different ideas that are out there!

  3. Thanks folks!

    Terri are you bonkers? I read the bit about 1,375 2.5" scrap squares and another couple of hundred on top and ran away screaming!! I think I am leaning towards making my next quilt out of a layer cake and not cutting anything!! If you do it, make sure to let me/us know how you are getting on. Once we get moved and settled, I think I will be up for a long-term project, at the moment I am still wanting instant results, oh impatient me!
