Scandi Cushion

A while ago I showed a cushion top I made with HST offcuts from my red and white quilt top. Today I turned it into a cushion and another Christmas present.


I love how this pattern is sort of an optical illusion. It just does not look square. Well, it doesn't to me. I would happily make something else with the same layout, maybe different colours. This one is all wrapped and headed for Canada tomorrow. I sent two parcels to Canada today and was surprised I had made the postal deadline, just. That might be a first. Now the postal people just have to do their bit to make them arrive on time.

  3. It looked square enough to me until you said and then I started looking closer and then my eyes went all funny! I'm sure its new owner will appreciate it either way

  10. I love this cushion so much. The colours, the spiral quilting. I made two baby quilts for my cousin and his wife in Canada this past week. I calculated the postage online tonight. Just over $29AUD! I might see if my Aunty can take them over when she visits and meets the twins (who were born healthy and safely yesterday) in February.
