Up Up and Away Cushion

[Iminei]

Gorgeous fabrics @Diane  ... How are you getting on with the technique????

[Diane]

@Iminei After piecing a few together i'm finding it very easy, it's nowhere near as complicated as i first thought. I'm not sure all the fabrics go together, they wouldn't have been my first choice but i was just going with what i have at hand, it will probably look better once i've pieced them together a bit more.

Getting there slow but sure

Well i've had a busy afternoon, mostly sewing and some unpicking  , Managed to piece rows 1-10 together, spent ages redoing one part where one piece was incredibly narrow, couldn't leave it as it would annoy me. So now i have the balloon part sewn together, tomorrow i will do the two rows that form the basket.

[Iminei]

Wow! (Ill add the ZER when I see the finished piece)

[Lilian]

Wow!Wow!Wow! That is just gorgeous!  Well done @Diane

@Diane 

Wow! I think this 10s emoji was made for your cushion!

It looks fantastic.

[Diane]

Thankyou all, i was hoping to get the last two rows completed today but i've got side tracked, will do it tomorrow as the light is going abit now.

[Diane]

I've finished the row 11 so that's all pressed, one more row left to do which contains the basket. I've looked through my stash and unbelievably found nothing suitable , i'm not going to ruin it by just using anything so i've ordered these fat quarters which will arrive tomorrow, i think they'll make a lovely basket.

[Diane]

I think while i'm waiting i'll look to see what type of back i'm going to do. Might do an envelope back rather than a zip closure  :thinking: Once the basket bit is complete i'll sandwich the front and quilt it.

[Celia]

They will make a good basket, it is looking very nice, have you enjoyed making it.

[Diane]

have you enjoyed making it.

I really have, it's nowhere near as hard as i though and it's one of those crafts that you can just get lost in, i forget about my worries and my anxiety disappears, so all good. I'm on the lookout for my next FPP project, i have something in mind.
