In 2011 I made my youngest daughter her quilt in chocolate colours...
It was made with quite big Disappearing 9 patch blocks......
As there were a couple of blocks extra I used these to practice how I wanted to do the quilting and these quilted blocks have been languishing in the back of my cupboard since then....
this pictures shows the back of the quilted panels
I still had a nice piece of the backing of the quilt... a charcoal tone on tone in flannel so I used that to make up some pillow slip style backs for the blocks....
Now youngest daughter has a couple of matching cushion covers for her quilt....
If you are interested there is more of the quilt HERE
A couple more UFO finishes for me.... yippee... the number is going down!!
Righto, Gotto Go... these colours have got me thinking about chocolate and coffee ..... hmmmmm

Chocolate with a touch of blue - divine.
Hello Fiona,
You are on a roll, the fabric does look good enough to eat.
Happy days.

A great feeling to have another done. I love the chocolate and blue. hugs
Beautiful and finishes too. Those lindt bunnies have been screaming at me all day. Might be time for a cuppa and chocy myself too.
Lovely and snuggly for winter, and great to use the practice blocks too.
Love the fabrics... Beautiful to have the matching cushions.
Great idea, lovely combination of colours, I expect your daughter was really thrilled to have matching cushions.
Love the quilt and I was just thinking when I saw the blocks you should make cushions to match, but you were a step ahead of me.
Loving the cushion covers, and the quilt.... your FM quilting is really lovely. Hugs xxxx
You're going great guns with your UFOs fiona - love the chocolate color
lovely to see your daughter's quilt again. It is gorgeous and the matching cushions are a great idea.

They look great! And good for you using up those two lonely blocks! :0)

Wish the quilt fairies made some lovely cushions out of my orphan blocks!
Looking great Fiona and I love the cushions,.....mmmmm, now I might need a coffee too!
I love quick finishes like that. That's a lovely quilt, and your daughter will be pleased to have matching cushions
You're such a good influence - finishing up all these UFO's. Love the new cushions that perfectly match the gorgeous quilt.
Beautiful.
Perfect match... and a little more space in the cupboard.
Double winner! :)
Oh they look brilliant, you're so clever :)
