Ok, I had a large amount of cut pieces of fabric left over from my quilt. The link will take you to Photobucket and click on the view named cushions. Three different cushions and a machine cozy for the new Janome Long arm. I still have a gajillion cut pieces and am thinking of other ways to sue them up.
Hope you enjoy them,
John Taylor
oh boy that isnt working well at all. a wee bit too long me thinks. try using this link to create a 'tiny link' for those big ones.
Lovely! Simple, smart and fit in so beautifully with the lovely wood - just like your big quilt.
How are you on colour, John? I keep 'seeing' these woody colours with some teal. Mind you, I'm only just beginning to have tiny adventures with colours - and I've been quilting for 12 years or so! . In message , John writes
John, lovely cushions. Your sense of craftsmanship shows in all your sewing.
Are the leftovers cut in squares or strips? If they are strips try a little string piecing. It would be a new technique, and you could add a few strips from other projects. You don't have to use the strip pieced "fabric" you make immediately. You can keep it for backing other quilts. But it also makes quick but interesting knee rugs and table runners and mats to protect that beautiful furniture.
I often spend a day sewing "string scraps" into pieces if "fabric" about 22" square. I just keep the pieced fabric until I need it.
These will give you some ideas of string piecing -
Throw pillows for the bed, quilt for Project Linus or Ronald Mc Donald House, send them to me.
