I might make new covers like this! :D

I machine sewed all of it. I don't think I have the patience for hand sewing, lol.

I used a 1/4" quilting foot when doing the piecing of the blocks, and then used a J foot when sewing in the "glass" fabric so that I could see the area really well.

Woo Wee Eddie

That's a lovely cushion you've made there, it looks so crisp & fresh.
Whats really funny is I am sitting here chuckling to myself as I have been out today looking for a certain quilting book couldn't find it so I came home with Lynne Edwards C Windows book. Now that is spooky LOL.
There are some wonderful projects in there to do ummmm one day LOL.

Sorry Eddie - I'm being REALLY annoying aren't I? But what's a J foot - I tried google first so as not to bug you but couldn't find a clear pic - is it like an open toe? :mrgreen:

Not annoying at all! I think I may be talking in Brother sewing machine language since I'm not real familiar with machine talk yet. The J foot is the one that came already on the machine, so I'm guessing it's like the standard sewing foot. Basically, it looks like two metal toes with a wide opening and has clear plastic there between the metal toes so it's real easy to see where you're about to go with it. Hopefully someone here can explain better than me.

I think what you're describing sounds like an open appliqué foot - I'll fiddle around with my various feet (I've got some i have no CLUE what they're for! :shock: ) and see what works best. Thanks Eddie! :D
