Le Challenge - Bright

I love bright and colourful fabric! It makes me happy! 
So I knew I had to enter this months Le Challenge with the theme 'Bright'. 

I wanted to make some cushion covers for my sister as a 'Christmas' present for when I see her in June. (I don't see my family that often, but when we do meet up we give each other presents to make up for all the Christmas' we've missed out on!). 

I chose a 'Simply Color' charm pack that was in my stash and made these:

P1090028

P1090022

I used my favourite tutorial to put covered zippers in the backs. I love the colours and I think my sister will too. 


Linking up with Le Challenge, Sew Cute Tuesday, Ho Ho Ho and on we sew, and this is my first finish for the FAL Q2.

    I love your cushion covers! Today I washed two I made a couple of years ago but they have faded and the white strip is no longer white. Darker and brighter colours like yours are more practical.

    Pretty! I like the simplicity of those squares and straight line quilting.
