Pattern looks like chair cushions I am making. Lots of lovely squares sewn together then cut into shape. Use cut away pieces on back with other material to make it reversible. You can also use leftover material for binding and leave the back a solid color. If you make a design, say a star just make sure it is centered before you cut.

Take a look at www.sew4home.com and Moda's site as they have two great ideas for this shape.

You could do almost anything. Fussy cut a center or appliqué a favorite theme or design on it -- would look great!

Where did you get the pattern? We have round table and they would be just great.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for looking for me.

Great advise.

I also tried to search on Yahoo, and there is a question on yahoo answers for the same thing. The recommendation of the answer suggests using newspaper and cutting shapes until you get the shape you are after? Might be worth a try...

She's got the shape and the size. Just do it.
