Learn to Sew Gorgeous Quilt Cushions!

Wednesday, April 8th, 2015

Over the Easter break I had a great time helping my dear friend Heather sew a set of gorgeous quilt cushions to match the special quilt I made her last year.

In one of our beginner quilting classes last year Heather learned the quilting technique and made her quilt squares into these gorgeous cushions as you can see below:

Quilt Cushion Features:

Heather used the same patchwork technique we teach in our ‘Beginner Quilting Class’ to make cushion fronts
The designs were to fit 40cm square cushions
Iron-on Pellon (iron-on wadding) was used on the wrong side of the cushion panels
Heather ditch stitched around feature panels to add loft
Piping was added for a professional finish to the outer edges
Heather learned how to insert invisible zips at piped lower edge cushion seams
Coordinating fabrics were chosen for the back of the cushions to match the quilt

I think Heather did a fabulous job! Well done Heather!

If you would like to learn how to sew a quilt and make gorgeous cushions to match you can book into one of our quilting or sewing classes today BOOK ONLINE HERE!
