I'd been thinking about making this for a while, ever since I saw this picture in Maison Créative. The wall art is made from yellow cardboard; I liked the hexagons and also wanted to mimic how the shadows changed the yellow by using different fabrics.
It finally took the deadline for Rachel's Celebrate
There is piping and the quilting is fairly heavy - hexagon spirals made with my walking foot (still not brave enough to try free motion).
The back has an envelope style closure with an extra row of triangles. Nice and simple.
Would've been simpler if I hadn't done this:
Bottom panel sewn on back to front.
I don't know how I end up making silly mistakes like this. Thoughts must've wandered.

Umm. What?
Oh, right. So, I really like this cushion because it gives a nice bright pop of yellow to my couch and goes so well with my other handmade covers.
Why you little...
Nothing a nice glass of rosé can't fix.
I'm just finishing off this little project...
...and then I get to pull my Go! Baby out of its box. Yay! Hope you're all having a great week!

Swoon! oops Hugh Jackman does that to me, and a glass of rose, no make that a bottle, would be great right about now.
Love the pillow, those yellows are so bright and cheery, and it looks (looked) fab with the other pillows.
That's fabulous! Love the quilting!
Dang! Well darn done, it really is a beaut :)
Iyiyi! Look at those cushions! Girl, I love those fabrics, the design, the colors. Off to poke around the rest of your blog!
My week has just brightened from reading your post! I was only just thinking about doing something in yellow! You have inspired me to think about it some more! And I also did some similar hexagonal quilting this week! only George Clooney was my distraction; Hugh does look luscious in this photo BTW!!!
Love your cushion, all yellowy, bright and cheerful. Good ole Hugh, so easy on the eye isn't he?!

God I love Hugh. And it's been a while since you gave us any Hugh candy, so thanks for that.Was there anything else in that post?
I love your handmade cushions, and the last addiction is absolutely charming.
Bravo!
I love the pillow and the inspiration behind it! :-) It really turned out beautifully front and back and the quilting is really cool! Your covers really look great together, really inspiring! It seems that I'm fed up with the ones I made last year, so I think I'll try some patchwork, next time! :-)
The plus quilt sneak peek looks great! Love the colours!
