Happy 'Club Quilt' Christmas
Finished just in time, here is my swap gift for our Christmas party tonight. It is a Bronwyn Hayes Christmas design (Australian Homespun No.32). I was trying to achieve something Christmas-sy without using fire-engine red & bottle green. I have used some favourite Robyn Pandolph fabrics.
I'm not completely happy with the inner border - not enough contrast? But the 'candy-cane' piping makes up for it I think. The piping was a nightmare to do, but it was worth it.
In an attempt to avoid zippers and buttonholes (!) I decided to close the back of the cushion with fabric ties. I will do that again. Really easy & so much more interesting than a zip.
I've now only to wait nervously to see if the recipient likes it!
