I completed some quilted pillow covers a while ago, but hadn’t posted about them yet.
They are all made from a bunch of “Kiwiana” (in other words, New Zealand themed) quilting fabrics that I’ve been given by a few people. We’ve been in desperate need for sofa cushions for a while. Actually, we still are – four cushions isn’t really enough.
The first one I made in a kind of koru shape.
The second has a basket-and-seafood theme, including a section where I wove together strips of fabric & batting.
The third was the most challenging, a feather (using a whole lot of bird-themed fabrics)
And the fourth is loosely based on the kind of pattern you see on the bodice of a traditional Maori dress
The backs of all four covers are the same – pale corduroy, and an envelope closure held with velcro.
