For the love of CHEVRONS....

Over recent months Rag Quilts & Chenille Cut blankets have been very popular among the facebook handmade community. I think much of the excitement started with this tutorial by Aesthetic Nest.

I followed the tute (to the letter) and after about 9hrs of stitching, cutting, fluffing and frumping I had made my own Chenille Cut Throw. It's now much loved by my couch dwelling family of 4 for both its soft chenille back and the weight of its 3 flannel layer and drill front.

 

But I wanted more......

 

What about a cushion..... an ORANGE chevron cushion!!! After a little googling, I got the basic idea of how to construct an envelope style cushion, added orange top stitching to my front (for texture), 3 layers of chenille cut flannel to the back and  hidden snap closure and the side.... and TA DAAAAA!!!

 



And now for the shameless self-promoting plug..... This ORANGE Chevron Chenille Cut Cushion Cover (say that 10 times real fast) is available tonight - along with its matchie-matchie denim/chevron friend at the "Orange October Showcase" here that I am hosting on my handmade fb page G.D.A.C.
