Spring Carnival Finish...

I have stitched away slowly on this one since June, and now summer is over, and it is done...



With a whopping 26" cushion pad, it has to be one of the comfiest lounging cushions ever, although it does not go with anything else in our living room!

I backed the carnival panel with some fusible fleece and did some simple straight line quilting at 3/4" intervals in aqua (5006) 50wt Aurifil.  Joined the front to the back with a french seam, and there's even a 'hidden' zip!

Ballet lessons start again this week, so I think I need to get sorting another little EPP project, to wile away those happy hours x

  2. It's beautiful and well worth all the effort. EPP does take time but I find little and often does the trick for me - I have several quilts on the go and have to stop myself starting anymore. I expect your family will be fighting over who gets this to snuggle up to :-)

  8. It looks fantastic, love the colours and quilting. I got as far as putting mine on some backing material for a wall hanging, but no further!
    The rose star is a good EPP - I've just made a Christmas one, they are quick and easy with great end results

  11. Lovely, happy colours! None of the cushions on my sofa "go" with the rest of the room, I just call it the eclectic look!

  15. Gorgeous cushion. And I think a new epp to make another one in a different but complimentary pattern would be just the thing.

  26. What a pretty finish Hadley - patchwork 'goes' with everything or that's what I tell myself as I become known as the weird English sewing lady.

  27. It's gorgeous! I love the spring carnival pattern and have been working away on mine too. I love the colours of yours and don't think it matters if it doesn't "go" with anything else as long as it's comfy and beautiful.
