Hello Everyone,
What’s your favorite thing about summer? For me, it’s relaxing on the porch with my
favorite book and being out in the fresh summer air. Which is why I wanted to whip up
a fun floral-inspired floor cushion to add to my outdoor decor. I used prints from my
collection for Art Gallery Fabrics called Legendary. This collection is near and dear to
my heart because it’s a compilation of my best-selling prints that work so well with one
another! I paired it with coordinating PURE SOLIDS and I love the juicy summer feel!
If you have an afternoon free this is a perfect project to add to your to sew list. Make
sure to print your petal template below and let’s get busy piecing!
Who loves a fat-quarter-friendly project?! Me, me, me! You can almost make this entire
project with fat quarters, but for the side panels, I did use yardage. If you wanted you
could piece together your side panels for a scrappier look!
Fabrics Used:
Lay your pieces out following the picture below. Sew your petals together to create two
halves.
Sew your halves together. Repeat this process twice to get your front and back pieces.
Now it’s time to pick your quilting threads. I tried to pick colors that complimented my
project but would stand out. Place your front and back pieces on top of some batting and
pin together. Quilt as desired!
Clip your seam allowance in between each petal to help create a nice curve.
Repeat this same process to attach the other side of your panel to your bottom piece,
making sure to leave a 3″ unsewn portion to flip your piece through.
Flip your piece through and stuff with poly-fil and sew the unsewn portion shut by
hand.
Step Five: Finishing Up
To create the indent in the middle of your cushion you will need a long needle and
strong embroidery thread. With a double strand pull your needle and thread through the
bottom of your cushion and bring it through to the top.
Then pull your needle through the cushion to the back. For this next part, grab a friend
to help. Have them push down on the pillow and tie a knot with the right amount of
indent you prefer.
Once the knot is secure you can clip your threads and your floor cushion is ready to be
used!
