Vintage flower cushion

A while ago I decided to make a cushion using my vintage flower square pattern, and only 1 colour yarn.


I finally got around to finishing it this week. I've decided I really like the effect of making something using only 1 colour of yarn. It gives it a much more vintage, delicate feel in my eyes. 


I've realised after thinking that I have way too many cushions that actually I won't have enough for both the sofa and bedroom in my new flat after I've moved. So I think I'm going to make a few more of these lovelies!

    1. Hi there, I can try and share a pattern for this soon - as it happens I have another cushion the same (but in a different colour) on the go. If it helps in the meantime I can tell you that for the white cushion, I made 50 of the vintage flower squares (25 for each side) and stitched them together by over-sewing the squares together. I'll try and do a post where I explain it properly, with photos soon - I have a bit of a back log of patterns to share, so I must do it soon.

      Thanks for being interested, and sorry for the slightly delayed reply to this comment!

  9. I do like the look of your cream cushion, the design of the block would make a lovely bedspread. Which yarn did you use and where would I find the pattern - hope you don't mind me asking.
