April Scrappy Finishes - Rainbow Star Cushion & Link Up

How was April for your scrap busting? Mine was not so good, but I did manage one small project this week so not a total loss.

Going back a few years ago, I used a few rainbow charms to make this scrappy star using the diamond die on my Accuquilt Go! Baby. But I didn't really think it through and once it was made I realised doing anything with it required y seams, which I wasn't in the humour to tackle at that stage. It went in my scrap basket and remained there until the start of this year when I found it again.

I pieced the y seams the other night - not perfect, but fine for a cushion where it is going to be squished and squashed and no one will notice.

 

Then I echo quilted it using rainbow coloured thread. And hey presto, I have a lovely little cushion. This is a small little cushion - only 15" square, and I have it ear marked for my office chair which has been killing my back lately, whatever way it is set up.

I made an envelope back for it with some large leftover scraps from my Made to Measure quilt back - Ikeas nummer fabric.

 

All done and ready to bring to work tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to seeing what scrappy projects you've been working on this month - link up below!
