Cushions for a friend

I made these cushions for a friend’s birthday a couple of weeks back. I bought the fabric months back and had them all planned out - and then got sidetracked - so when it came to making them I’d completely forgotten what I’d planned to do! Anyway I am pleased with how they have turned out and had great fun making them.

June Block

I’m halfway there now :-)

 June block

Here’s the finished block of the month for June. I really like this one in the calming shades of blue and green. The curvy stems were a bit of a nightmare to cut and sew but generally it was a very straightforward block. I got very tempted when I finished this block to carry on and finish the whole quilt. I’m getting excited and impatient to have it all put together and done.

But then a friend mentioned that she fancied doing a lone star quilt and that spurred me on to get on with mine and finish that instead! I am currently putting the last diamond together so it should be assembled soon. Then I need to decide what I’m doing about borders. I’m fancying doing some embroidery as well as appliqued flowers on them but I’m not sure as yet.
