Pineapple Quilt Blocks cushion

Pineapple  quilt blocks  like Log Cabin quilt, are built around a center square, but instead of just four logs, every round now contains an additional four patches.

This is one of two Pineapple quilt block cushions. The inspiration for making them came after the birth of two of my grandchildren а few months apart. I made both cushions in no time. It wasn’t a difficult task. For the middle square I choose a fabric with a heart symbol, expressing my love to the children. 

Pachwork cushions

Here you can see some of my cushions. I have made them in the last few years and most of them I have given to friends.

This is my first cushion. When I made it, I didn’t know what “patchwork” was. I wanted to make а handmade present for a wedding anniversary. I knew that the couple loved cats. I decided to make a motif of an open window with two cats seating on the window cill looking at the garden. It wasn’t the easiest task to make the cushion, because I didn’t follow a specific patchwork technique, but the result at the end wasn’t bad I think.

London olympics 2012 quilts, Friendship Star Quilt Block

This cushion was inspired by the London Olympics 2012. I used pieces of denim and motives of London attractions. I used the idea of the Friendship Star Quilt Block.
The pattern block is very easy to complete. For me it was best to mount motifs of London in the four centers of the stars and in the middle square the symbol of the Olympic rings.
Finally get a very good size 42 cm x 42 cm ( 16,5" x 16,5" )

Merry-Go- Round cushion, Four Patch Block

Idea for a cushion. This was the first lesson I learnt from my friends at the patchwork club.In the centre use a Four Patch block. Use two squares of two different fabrics, triangulated and sewn together. Central banding with stripes optional.

Here is the pattern.................
