Hey There,
A few years back (quite a few, I think !!), I used to attend a monthly workshop, where each month we did a different craft. One month we began doing a quilted cushion, using the Ohio Star pattern. It was all hand sewn, and I never finished it ... not a big fan of hand sewing, and I put it aside to do other things (as you do !!!)
Anyway, back in February, I joined a Beginners Patchwork class at my local U3A. The first week I had nothing to work on, so I took in my cushion cover ... and I actually finished it. I finished hand piecing the block, then machine stitched a border and backing, and quilted the top "in the ditch". Surprisingly, it turned out not too bad.
Take care,

Now it just needs stuffing !! In the mean-time, it sits on the card table where I use my sewing machine, and Bambi the cat thinks it is the best place in the world to have a snooze !! She seems to like anything home made ... what a silly kitty !!
