As the year comes to an end I wanted to share with you my last finished project of the year. I made this scrappy dresden cushion cover for a dear friend: she makes beautiful pet bandanas and share with me some of her fabric scraps. Every piece of fabric she sends me is beautiful and feeds my inspiration for more scrappy projects.

I just love how this cushion cover turned out! I decided to use Essex Linen in olive color as the background fabric and I think it is the perfect compliment for the scrappiness of the dresden blades. This is only the second dresden I’ve ever made and now I’m wondering why it took me so long to make another one. They are so fun to make and they are perfect scrappy project. I’m definitely making more.

I have so many ideas for more scrappy projects and quilts for the upcoming year; can’t wait to get started. In the meantime, wishing you a happy new year.

Until next time.
