Krumply Kona and Liberty Log Cabin

These cushion covers are proper Kona - yet I find myself plumping them up every 5 minutes.  When I see lovely cushions on people's blogs they never look like this - OK they may have been freshly plumped for the photo, but I wonder if they always look smooth and neat.  


Perhaps the secret is in the density of quilting and/or the type of wadding (batting) used - I used some leftover polyester.  The one on the left is not quilted at all, and that seems to get the worst of the crumples.

Oh, and an update on last week's tiny skinny log cabin - I made a second one and sandwiched the two together to make a key fob for our old shed.  

The two liberty prints used here are Mitsi in pink and Jugendstil in grey.  I think these folded log cabin blocks look best if you only use two fabrics.  This is a great way to use up tiny liberty scraps.

Thanks to everyone who passed by last week and those who commented on my first ever blog post.  Thanks also to Crazy Mom Quilts whose brilliant blog and weekly link-up helped me to get started with this blogging lark.
