The Sewing Places' Great Cushion Cover Swap the Second

[Manuela]

No chance @Iminei. Parent consultations, marking and the start of the new university module will keep me occupied in March....

[Iminei]

No probs Manuella, Right I will get on with the draw then!

[wrenkins]

What happened?

Why's nobody talking?

Everyone must be delighted with their cushionee!?!?!!

I am!         

[Lilian]

I think we are all busy sussing them out

All I’m saying is my swapee has a lovely colour combination

I've been sorting through fabrics and actually cut out a few strips yesterday, but I've still got a lot of playing around before I settle definitively on what I make.

[wrenkins]

I know what I'm going to do but I am, as usual, fiddling about with what I'm going to do it with. (I'll be down the back of the grammar class with a heap of fabric).  I've got the red plastic thing out and the black and white photograph thing going. All the gear and no idea!!! 
I have one particular little item that just will not play ball no matter what direction I fussy cut so I may have to take desperate measures. 
The good news is that I seem to have tons of pieces in the appropriate colours which is a miracle in itself since most of my stash appears to be green!

You’ve got Lowena then

I've got my pattern picked out. I purchased the background fabric. It's not really what I wanted, but the best choice available locally. And the flu hit me this morning, so not much chance of my going out anywhere to buy something different. I need to do some stash digging for my other fabrics, but I think I should have what I need for the rest.

I had a nice sewing day with friends yesterday, and unfortunately my favourite fabric shop visited us with a stand, so I spent .... "some"... money

So I had enough fabrics for my ideas and could start with the cushion cover today. The front is already waiting for quilting, the backside is still in progress.

[wrenkins]

Whaaaaat? Ready to quilt??? 

Oh my! 

[Sakar]

@wrenkins  Yes, but just one side.

My "partner" has a colour choice, wish fits my taste and makes it really great fun to plan, to choose, to cut, to sew  .... When I got the name, I knew right away, which blocks I will make, so it was way to start
