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!).

  1. 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).

  2. 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!
