Um, tried to blur out the untidiness a little, unsuccessfully.... ;-)
I have loads of cushions, but nearly all of them are 14", I have one really stuffed 18" and one soft 17" so have used them.
I like the way these have turned out, but a bit worried I've taken a simple project and made it into a more complicated one, but I hope my partner likes them. I thought that someone who sews a lot might appreciate a little handsewing. I think the cathedral windows and pintucks add the 'texture' she mentioned, to me, linen is always a little 'earthy' and I think this print and the cathedral windows are electic? I've interfaced the linen as the patchwork panel was fairly heavy and I decided the linen needed the support.
The dimensions are taken from Bend The Rules Sewing by Amy Karol, as is the envelope finish. I usually have less of an overlap and use a button or tie, but thought I had better stick to the book for the swap.
Cathedral window blocks are hand sewn. Pintucks are 1/2" deep.
