Using leftover Spectrum QAL fabric to make a sensational cushion! Part 2

Using leftover Spectrum QAL fabric to make a sensational cushion! Part 2

by Claire Haillot

I hope you’re enjoying the process of making smaller blocks out of the Spectrum QAL 2020! Making the blocks in a 6″ finished size opens so many new opportunities for finished projects.  I’m sewing my 7 favorite blocks of the 12 with The Little Girl in the Blue Armchair collection. I’ll use the mini blocks to create a unique pillow to match my bed runner, but you could make so many other projects, such as a table runner or a baby quilt.
