This has been a while in the making!!
Finished it yesterday. The colours were chosen by my daughter and not quite to my taste, but now it's finished I think it looks good!
You may remember that I did a larger version of this in pastel colours along with Serinde (and several others) some while back.
I chose 9 squares from the original 15 from the design.

Thanks to Serinde who helped me out with some Pearl #5 when the threads I'd bought were not as vibrant as those previously bought

Crikey!! Need my shades for that! Looks bright and cheery.

Wendy your cushion cover is really fantastic I love the colours and patterns

I am currently making a rag rug cushion for my daughter to take to uni in September, I hope I can get it finished in time!

Beautiful finish, Wendy, and yes, quite a piece of work perfectly done.

Amazing finish, Wendy!!!!

I am awestruck by how different that looks than the sampler looked with the paler colors. I'm one of those that did that sampler and until I read what you said about "several others including Serinde" and the 15 squares, I didn't even realize it was the same set of designs. Amazing!!!
What a lovely cushion that makes!

Carole

Like Carole I'm amazed at the difference the colours make! What a cheerful cushion this will be

this is a lovely piece Wendy.
the colours are stunning. i am sure your daughter will treasure it. I fear you might be asked for a full set now

That is so bright and cheerful! When you say cushion cover, do you mean seat cushion? I'm not sure I could bring myself to sit on it, it's so pretty!

Looks very bright...
But rather nice. Lot of work has gone into it. Well done.

Regards

Richard.

Oh wow, that looks great, well done Wendy.

That is so beautiful

Wow, it is so beautiful and intricate!

That's a brilliant piece of work. Your daughter will love it especially as it's in the colours she chose.
I love it when modern mixes with traditional.

That is really BRILLIANT Wendy and I love all those colours, they are going to liven up any room for sure.

I think in the US you would call it a pillow. It will have a feather pad inside it and will sit on her bed.


Thanks for all your comments everyone....I think I can take off my now when I stitch!!

What a beautiful masterpiece!!

Beautiful Project! I like bright colors! The pattern is very nice too! Congrats.

It is wonderful! I love these bright colours!
Very inspiring!

Thank you! It's sitting and waiting to go to my daughter in 3 weeks time when she comes out here for a week with her youngest.

Fantastic, great heirloom
