quilted cushion cover for alice

My friend Alice asked me a few weeks ago, if I could make here a quilted cushion cover for her favorite armchair at home. She liked the quilted cushion covers I have made for our lounge sofa. So the cushion design was a straightforward decision.

I have opted to use Kona solids in Dove and Pewter for the basic hourglass blocks. Alice also wanted some bright colors added to the neutral shades. For this I have used fabric from my stock in a burgundy, fuchsia, pink, orange and yellow shades.

Alice can use the cushion cover can on both sides. One side has only hourglass blocks – finished size of a unit is 3″ square. The other side has the smaller hourglass blocks – finished size is 2,5″ square. To this I have added a 0,5” wide border in burgundy, before finishing the cushion cover with the light grey fabric.

Quilted with my new favourite thread from Amman Mettler Silk Finish in cotton 40, color 0331. I have used the walking foot and stitch length 4,0 for straight quilting in diagonal. The meeting point of both sides.

I have added a zipper to the bottom of the cushion cover.

Nice pillow and zipper! Plus, I’m jealous of your flowering plants.

Thanks! Yes, the plants are in full blossom and the bees are busy, I like this time of year. The garden looks nice until the heat comes, but we have still a few months with spring weather.

Beautiful pillow — my daughter wants a couple of throw pillows for her couch — her colors are gray and yellow…after seeing your creation I’m finally motivated to get started on her request 🙂
