Sew a simple quilted cushion cover
Bring the anticipation of spring into your home with a vibrant cushion cover.
This fresh and cheerful cushion cover comes together quickly and easily. You can probably put it together from your own fabric stash.
Have fun and choose fabrics that bring you joy.
Although we’re still in the deepest grip of winter, one can begin to sense the days lengthening, and our thoughts and hopes turn to spring. I love to bring elements of springtime into our home and discover that cheerful, bright fabrics do a pretty good job. That is, until I can bring spring bulbs and flowering branches, such as forsythia into our house.
A bouquet of fresh daffodils adds colour and fresh, bright scents to the indoors.
For this cushion cover, I used a palette of cheerful greens, pink and orange; all of which were selected to work well with the delightful birdie fabric I had in my stash from an earlier project.
I made this bolster pillow several months ago.
Pink binding and oversized buttons complete the look.
The main idea behind this quilted cushion cover pattern is a simple stripes grouping. I love stripes and gravitate towards them in garments and decor. I gained inspiration for this particular project from quilter Maria Shell and her article in the March/April 2018 issue of Modern Patchwork.
I often work things out with coloured pencils or markers, sketches, construction paper and lots of inspiration from elements around me.
This cushion pattern uses a simple envelope enclosure on the back side. I chose the bright orange fabric for this. Orange is an underrated colour in my opinion. This fabric literally makes one feel cheery.
