Log Cabin Cushions Completed

I finally got the last of my lounge cushions finished today (or 'pillows' for my international friends!).

I've pieced & quilted 10 fronts & backs, and button holed 2 envelope backs, using a mixture of new fabrics (my winnings!) and chopped up clothes e.g. corduroy skirts, trousers, & other clothes belonging to my family!

Here's the first set - 2 x 22" log cabin cushions and 2 x 18" scrappy stripped cushions.




These 4 cushions all have zippers
And the purple set - 2 x 18" cushions with button hole envelope backs.


My daughter's corduroy trousers & some old duffel buttons made the perfect envelope band!
It's lovely seeing them on my previously 'naked' sofa.

Now I just have to keep the dog off them!!  (easier said than done!).

    Ooooooh! Your cushions/pillows are all beautiful!! Enjoy using them! Watch out for that dog!! (You could maybe spray them with some bitter apple to keep him/her away-- but not sure how it would affect the fabric).

    They look absolutely brilliant Judith!! Love the cordoroy you added in. Now, take the dog (gently) by the ears and have a word with him. No more chewing of quilted goods - ever!

    Very ingenious, and very beautiful, and zips too! Well done. (Now just show the dog the sack and the bricks!).

    These must look amazing in your room - they're all so lovely! Flying Blind is sure into tough love! But yes, keep Poppy away from these beauties.
