Scraps left from quiltmaking? Try this idea.

My newest project

used up the remaining bit of scraps left from making this quilt,

which has it's own bit of scrappy-ness included on its backing.

 What could I make with the few remaining tidbits of fabric?  A scrappy patchwork envelope style cushion cover!  (Whew.  That's a pretty long moniker.)

Granted, I had to toss in an extra scrap or two that didn't come from making the quilt, just so I would have enough for the cushion patchwork, but everything here came from my stash.  The main fabric is the remaining yardage I used for making the quilt's binding.  This chocolate brown 'finger paint" design looks rich and at a distance, it's hard to guess that it's even quilting cotton.

 My original design idea was to use pom-pom fringe around the cushion covers edge, but this fluffy fringe I scooped up at a thrift store ages ago, seemed a better choice.

 Flip the cushion over and here's the reverse view.

 I'm so pleased with my new design that I could be persuaded to  sew scrappy patchwork cushion covers to match my other sofa quilts.   Watching a movie never looked more inviting. ;o)
