Granny Square Cushion - Finished Project

 Here it is then! My first granny square cushion is all finished up.


It's for a 14" x 14" cushion (which is what it's filled with in the photo) I decided to sew the squares, and the front to the back, by hand. I prefer the finished look of sewing the pieces together than crocheting them together.


It fastens with three small, white, inconspicuous buttons. Again, these are just sewn on to the longer 'flap' that tucks into the cushion like an envelope, and the natural holes in the crochet on the front of the cushion make the button holes.


As I showed in the last post, the back is just plain, but I like the contrast it offers to the jazzy front. Very pleased with the finished piece, and not a bad first attempt, even if I do say so myself! I can definitely see me making more of these in the future!
