It just stared at me and mocked me, saying finish me....finish me....
So that is what I did, yesterday I put a zipper in the back piece. Joined it all together and sewed the binding onto the edges.
Today I hand sewed the binding and all finished.
Its now a cushion for my lounge chair where I love to sit and do my stitchery.
Due to the blue washable pen fading, I didn't worry about the top part of the stitchery. I am sure that would have made me undo what was already done...lol.
Also I put a binding around the edge and that fabric matches the dove's wing on the left.
The back I decided to add a zipper and I didn't want the zipper dead smack in the middle.
So this UFO is now a cushion and I am sure if I didn't join this group, it'd still be annoying me.
Very happy with the end result.
You're only limited by your imagination.

Well done. Its actually nice to have something like this where you sit and sew. Enjoy
That is a lovely cushion.
Thanks girls:)
Funny there have been a couple of people making that block into a cushion - and presumably not finishing the rest of the quilt! But it looks so lovely - it was that block that got me into that Breast of Friends Quilt and although I am glad I finished it - it was a big job.
Beautiful cushion and a great use of a pretty block , congratulations on the finish !
I think it's beautiful. It looks like something that will draw you in to sit and have a good stitching session. Great work.
