Lovely .
How big is it? You could make a large squishy floor cushion that can be pummeled  when frustrated - get your own back on Covid!

Yes and no, it is inspired by and made to show such a Corona Virus....







It's about 90cm high and 75cm wide.

So about 35.5" x 29.5" which seems like something you could add a border to to square it up and then make a lap quilt.  Or a pillow could also work. 

I think it's looks pretty cool.  :thumbsup:

I like the idea of making it into a large floor cushion.

A floor cushion is a good idea.  You can always kick the stuffing out of it over the covid situation  :ninja:

Excellent piecing @Sakar

WOW!!!!!!!!

You always were very good at the 3D stuff .... I think a large floor cushion would be excellent too, especially with lil Wolfgang running around.

Have you a pattern?

A floor cushion is a good idea indeed  :)

Generally the idea is copied from Marci Baker and her books. But I refused to buy it :rolleyes: so I simplified the virus and made a pattern myself m (but so far, is just in German  :\)
