    Great cushions give a new look to the chairs! Love the table topper too. Who needs coasters with that around?

    rjwilder, if your cushions will be outside in the sun, you might want to look for sunbrella fabrics or outdoor fabrics. That's what I used. So far I've made cushions with covers for the metal bench and porch swing for the front porch and pillow covers for both items using used pillows I picked up from the local thrift shop. Much cheaper than buying new pillow forms. I used a foam piece that my sister had on her bed she no longer wanted, cut it to size, made a muslin cover for it and then went to work on a quilted, 2-sides cover with zipper for the swing. This way I could wash them every season.
