Betwixt and Between

From calculations, I have completed 8 quilts this year, 

with "Cloverly" waiting patiently for a backing, 

once I can go shopping again.

So I didn't want to start another quilt....yet!

So I got to and cut out the octagonal pieces for the 

Annie cushion I shared last time.

I decided to use my healthy stash of Heather Ross 

fabrics, choosing 36 in total.

The pattern calls for a 7 by 7 arrangement or a total of 

49 octagons,

but I did not want a cushion that large......

I had a pillow form ready and waiting.

I enjoyed many lockdown hours hand stitching this 

together, 

enjoying the neatness of the back as much as the front.

Once it was together I added a border, mainly to

   stabilise all the bias edges.

I hand quilted it with a Perle thread in off white

and bound with a pretty turquoise stripe.

It matches my Port Fairy Tales quilt made last year.

It finishes at about 46cm or 18"

I guess it's time to think about my next quilt.

What should I make?

Happy sewing!
