Horseplay cushion

So after showing you a tiny picture of the cushion in Quilt Now, Sara thankfully reminded me that I hadn't blogged about it at all (I'm so used to magazines where I feel I can reveal all before publication, then I don't forget)! This is my large feature cushion called Horseplay (named by OH). I made this last year, but I'll list it as one of this year's finishes in my gallery.I was asked by Jan on Instagram if it's hard to make and it really isn't. Essentially it's stacking fabrics and stitching, cutting them open again and fusing on petal shapes. It makes for nice secondary patterns though and it would be tempting to revisit this again and accentuate it a bit more.The back...The fabric used is a layer cake of Mustang- or half of one to be exact. This is a great project for using up left over 10" squares too. I made mine with piped binding, but you don't have to if you choose to make one, it was a tad fiddly!STATSSize – 24"Number of blocks – 36Time to make– 6-7 hoursFabric – Mustang by Melody Miller for Cotton and Steel and Kona NavyBacking Fabric – Gracie Girl numbers by Riley Blake (I scored and got this for £3 a yard at Fabric Guild)Binding/Piping Fabric – Bonnie and Camille Happy-Go-Lucky Skip in NavyThreads – Coats Moon piecing, Madeira something-or-other for quiltingBatting – 80/20 Soft and Elegant offcutQuilting- Following the curves of the petal shapes, pic of the reverse below...
