Thank you so much girls. It isn't difficult or I wouldn't be able to do it  However it is fiddly ( quite a bit of unpicking  ) I really enjoyed doing it and will definitely do more. I'm thinking of making a small quilt using Kantha quilting next 

Thank you Pearl, there was a lot of unpicking 

Oh, thank you so much Vege  I'd come back to transfer it myself ( now I've calmed down  ) and am very grateful to you 

I have finished my Sashiko cushion and wanted to share as it is my first attempt.
I used thin linen in indigo and a traditional flower pattern.I had cotton backing and perle thread.
I actually used several pastel colours but they don't show up on the photo. The colour changes are very subtle.
For a first attempt I am pleased with the result 

Welcome from me too 

As I only ever use one type / size of needle, it doesn't arise. However, I do change the needle for each project and throw the used one away 

My first 2 offerings to Project Linus UK are to be a Disappearing 9 patch quilt and a 1/2 Log Cabin quilt, both using up fat quarters I already have.
The LC will be fine as it's strips and small squares, my query is about the DNP.
Is it better to use yardage and have all the 9 patch blocks the same? If each 9 patch block was made up of different fabrics would it just look a mess?
It's difficult to tell on Pinterest, but they mostly seem to use restricted fabrics 
I don't want to use sashing as the quilt will not be very big
Thank you
