Having found that for some unfathomable reason, my square of quilting was too small, I adapted it to fit the pillow I use for my back on the settee.
Another disappearing nine patch was created but instead of sewing the 4 squares back together, I only used 2 and added them to the original square to form an oblong.
Still a little bit too short on all sides. Next I added a small border, making sure I cut the strips and joined them back together to make it resemble quilting.
This is where I made my second mistake. The last side was sewn on the wrong way so its seam was showing on the front. Ah well, only 2 mistakes so far, not too bad!
Then I made a short flap to edge the front part of the pillowcase.
just lovely xx

ReplyDeleteThank you. I didn't want to start my front room cushion project until I had enough material.
DeleteThats so pretty, love your choice of fabrics. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I waited until having enough of the colours I wanted before starting.
DeleteThat's really lovely! Have you been bitten by the quilting bug yet?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, been bitten but shall go slowly. My aim eventually is to do a bed-size quilt (still no wadding though, backed by a sheet is what I am thinking.
