I appear to have lost it! I seem to be in a green and blue phase with my makes at the minute.
My latest project being another of those 'commissions' for my best buddy, who requested 4 (yes 4!!!) cushions for her brand new sofa. When I asked about colours, the words 'duck egg blue' and 'brown' came out of her mouth, I quickly directed her to our nearest Dunelm Mills. Again after a lengthy convo/argument she agreed that I could do what I wanted with a blue/green combo. I like it when they bend to my will ;-)
Having picked out 32 fabrics from my stash (mostly from my Pink Castle fabrics stash bundles), I chose a simple patchwork design and mixed in a bit of Essex yarn dyed linen in Flax.
I have my wadding in the tumble dryer after it's pre-wash and then I can get on with quilting them. I do love a simple project!
Linking up with Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday
Now I just love your color
ReplyDeleteThose cushions are going to be gorgeous! The linen sets the colours off brilliantly. Do you always pre-wash and dry wadding?
ReplyDeletePrewashing wadding, now I've not ever done that, does it make a big difference?
ReplyDeletechortling at the Dunelm Mills comment!
ReplyDeleteThey're going to be gorgeous cushions! I wonder if your rainbow will reappear once all the rain stops?!
ReplyDeleteWell I think you do blue and green rather beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOoh pretty! Love the essex linen, blue & green combo.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Friends can be persuaded like that sometimes! The seat covers are coming along wonderfully and I like the essex in them!
ReplyDeleteLove your color combo and the simple patchwork design. I especially am a fan of the linen! The cushions are going to look fantastic when finished, can't wait to see them!
ReplyDeleteoh! I love the linen color with the blues and greens! It is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThese will be beautiful cushions!
ReplyDeleteI love the color and fabric combinations you chose - can't wait to see them finished.
ReplyDeletedo you do an evil bwhahahahahaha laugh when bending their will? ;) Those cushions will be gorge. Prewashing wadding? *wanders off to ponder*
ReplyDeletelove these colors together! sometimes simplicity just works ;)
ReplyDeleteForget the rainbows! Amazingly beautiful and simple!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cushions are going to be lovely! Nice that you are slowly turning the world to your way of thinking. Eventually everyone else will be seeing (and requesting) rainbows too.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite colour combo. Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous colours. Love what the Essex Linen brings to the table.
ReplyDeleteOh, so lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteLove them. Well done for talking your friend into giving you free reign and better colours. ;)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if all dictators issue threats containing the words *Dunelm Mill* ;0P
ReplyDeleteI like your current colours but I prefer your rainbows #leaderoftherainbowquiltclan
LOL, you did Good in convincing her. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDamn right you threw the colour brown right back at her, not acceptable, i prefer your take on it! :o)
ReplyDeleteThese look lovely already!
ReplyDeleteThese are going to be gorgeous!!! Love them!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a really nice quilt! Love the blues/greens with that linen.
ReplyDeleteLove all the little snippets of patterns... and the colour palette is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteOhhh blues and greens are so pretty!!! I'm impressed you wash your wadding. I tried with my first ever quilt, but I hung it on the line to dry and it tore apart, then I had to go and buy more ... it was all bit of a drama so now I don't prewash. It would help if I had a dryer...
ReplyDeleteI like your colour choice and great when you get the say, it's hard to work on something you don't feel is "you" in my experience! Looks great with the linen.
ReplyDeleteThat Essex linen is beautiful with the blues and greens. Am really not that much of a fan of brown!They are going to look great on the sofa.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! The simple things are often the most stunning!
