I am extra specially proud of this finish as it is 100% my own work:
- My paper pieced kiwi pattern;
- my free motion quilting (I was desperate to move onto something new, but decided that it was better to learn to stipple well before jumping onto something more advanced) and
- my improvised cushion pattern.
It makes a great pair together with the birdie cushion that I made a few months ago (the colours are slightly different, but I don't care!) They will proudly adorn our sofa and wait with baited breathe to see if I get round to making any more cushions for the set!

They don't look it in this photo, but I promise that the stripes are straight! I was a bit adventurous and did some FMQ on the back panels too- I like it! |

I have started this project and I am having so much fun. This design was what made me want to try paper piecing which I had never done before. I am about 1/2 way through but hope to finish by Friday:
