Today I cut some Klona cream 4″squares to pair with the Liberty charms I ordered from Ali’s shop. I had decided to make some half square triangles (aka HST) for my aunt’s cushion cover. Everything went really well and I even enjoyed all the trimming.
I quickly decided on the placement…
… and then realised that the size was all wrong. My aunt asked for a cushion cover that’s 36 x 36cm, my cushion cover finishes at 32 x 32cm. Math obviously isn’t my strong point and I made a mistake when I converted the centimetres into inches. Arrgh! What to do? Should I keep this version and make a new one for my aunt in different fabrics? If I do, keep it I mean, should I add another round of HSTs to increase the size? Should I go back to my original plan of making a Dresden plate for her? So many questions.
I think I’ll have to sleep on that one.
Wunderschöne Stoffe! Ich bin sicher, dass der Kissenbezug (wie er auch immer schlussendlich aussehen wird) der Beschenkten gefallen wird. Es sind ihre Farben 🙂
Mach doch einfach einen breiteren Rand rundherum, oder wäre das falsch????
Could you just put a cream border around it? it’s so pretty I’m sure your aunt would love it.
I’d make a border and go with what you’ve got! (It’s going to be lovely!)
