Finished just in time, here is my swap gift for
our Christmas party tonight. It is a Bronwyn Hayes Christmas design (Australian Homespun No.32). I was trying to achieve something Christmassy without using fire-engine red & bottle green. I have used some favourite Robyn Pandolph fabrics.
I'm not completely happy with the inner border - not enough contrast? But the 'candy-cane' piping makes up for it I think. The piping was a nightmare to do, but it was worth it.
In an attempt to avoid zippers and buttonholes (!) I decided to close the back of the cushion with fabric ties. I will do that again. Really easy & so much more interesting than a zip.
I've now only to wait nervously to see if the recipient likes it!

I love it! The piping is splendid and the ties look very good! Do you have a photo of what the ties looks like when they are untied? It all matches up so perfectly, I can't quite see how and WHERE you attached them. Good job!
