Take a pretty piece of fabric - make a quilt sandwich and play a bit
use the fabric design to make your quilting shapes
shows well on the plain backing
do the same with some bolder shapes
quilted flutterby's
go a bit mad with feathers and around some applique ....
echo feathers.... oh what a fun play time...
put them all together - add some binding .....
pretty cushion.....
fabric and pattern was in my Spring Season gift from Sharon last year....
(thanks Sharon... I've had such fun with this)
cushion pattern is called "Thank you" by Don't Look Now...
they all helped such a lot
the tight quilting has made the fabric firm - fine for a cushion
Righto.... Gotto Go.... still binding......
Hope everyone has an AWESOME weekend

Very pretty - shows your quilting beautifully.
Fiona, that cushion is so beautiful and the quilting .. well can I say " I want to do that when I grow up!" :o)
Pretty!
Your quilting is beautiful. That fabric is so cheerful. Great work!
That is a really good idea, always scraps with designs that I could practice on and get a feel for designs and movement.
Your practice turned into a beautiful pillow.

That's amazing. Smaller pieces are so much easier to practise on, but to get something beautiful from all the pieces at the end, is just wonderful
Just amazing!!! Love the way you turned your beautiful practise pieces into a cushion.
Cushion and quilting looks great. Haven't ever tried anything quite like this myself yet.

I love your cushion Fiona ... and such brilliant quilting ... very clever ...
so ... when are you getting your long arm machine ???? ...
Your feathers look amazing.
I think this is one of my very favourite things you have made lately - so very very pretty.
Oh wow Fiona! This is just stunning, absolutely beautiful! Your FMQing is just divine and I love the finished pattern! Is it possible to be in love with a cushion? I think it is as I am!
I'm a big fan of Kellie's pattern too and your version of "Thank you" is just stunning. Your FMQ is fantastic and I might give your method a try.
Wow, that is a great idea for practice!!! But your FMQ is amazing; I am thinking you don't need much practice!
Another gorgeous cushion creation, love it, it is so fresh and happy...your quilting is fabulous...well done...
