My name is Ann-Marie and I am a fabric addict.
Over the last few years, each time I went into a fabric shop I picked up Nautical Fat Quarters, without necessarily thinking how they would fit together, but they were too nice to leave behind.
With the thought that if they had the same theme, they may go together, I decided to cut them all up into 10cm squares and then spent several hours trying to make something of them.
The criteria was that none of the same squares should touch each other and only diagonal connections were permitted.
Ta Dah! Phew.
I then pieced them together with a 1cm seam allowance as they need to be quite robust.
Sadly I did not take pictures of the rear of the cushions. They were backed with bag/curtain lining, which has a thin foam backing and holds its shape. I also added zips to the back using the letter box method of slitting the fabric and folding it inwards to then add the zip on the inside.
Lastly I piped the edges with dark blue bias binding and they look great.
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that they are slightly different as I was 4 dark blue squares short. Hey-ho.
