Completed my boxed cushions today!
Quite fiddly doing the boxed corners and set in zip... But I'm happy with how it turned out. Drunkards path pattern with 6.5 inch blocks using mostly batiks.
These 2 cushions are on the shoe rack that Tim built in the entrance hall. Perfect spot to sit and put on your walking shoes. 😊
