Happy, happy!

Today I turned the Tile block in to a rather lovely cushion :) LOVE!!
Happy cushion :) 
 I did some basic straight line quilting on the machine to fix everything in place, then added some hand stitching in a vivid red Perle 8.

I used another of the Ruby Star Shining prints for the back of the cushion. I just love this range. Melody Miller seems incapable of designing a crap range which is great news for us :) I used 2 different coloured buttons for the closure which goes against the grain of my normal need for symmetry but I think it works here.

Obviously I need a new cushion like a hole in the head but what can I tell you? I just love cushions ;) Catch you soon x

    As soon as I saw that block, I thought that's begging out to be turned into a cushion!
