The red trio

of scrappy 9-patch blocks have finally become

 quilt-y cushions!  Three cheers for having lots of red scraps in my stash to make this happen. hee hee

The patchwork part was easy, but when it came time to finish them, I just couldn't decide whether to add self-made piping or binding.  Discovering that I had only enough cord to make piping for two out of the three cushions... the final decision was made for me! lol ... Obviously, I choose to simply bind them - each one is bound in a different fabric (which is hard to see from my photos, unless you click on them to enlarge).

 The 9 patch blocks were arranged the same on two cushions fronts for some continuity, then differently on this one:

 but since I used scraps to make the blocks, each  is different from any of the others.  I think that's what I love most about quilting with scraps.  Endless variety and opportunity to experiment. :o)

 Lined up on the love seat, all those reds make me smile!  I just can't seem to get enough of this colour.

Which is becoming obvious... these cushions are only the latest make in my "red fest".  Adding it all up;  I now have one, two, three red runners, a set of 5 red scrappy placemats and I recovered my kitchen chairs in red scrappy patchwork.  You would think that it would be enough red around my house, but looking at these new cushions has me thinking a nice red scrappy quilt to match will be added to the "must sew" list. ;o)

I'm joining in on the fun and entering my cushions in Celebrate Color over at Stitched in Color and...

I'm linking up to Finish it up Friday, Week 2 over at Crazy Mom Quilts.
