I had forgotten how quick it is to bind such a 'short distance'!
I added a pair of buttons, it's a bit of a snug fit, as I only had a fat quarter of granny-backing for an 18" cushion, so there's not a lot of overlapping going on.
I may take a little of the stuffing out of the cushion pad, but even now, I am really happy with this as my 90th gift.
And so begins my ticking off...
1. Present for my Grandma's 90th birthday in November. Kerching!

"Look mama, those shapes on the ground look like the hexagons you have been sewing".
That's my girl!
