Using leftover Spectrum QAL fabric to make a sensational cushion! Part 3

Yesterday, I gave you the instructions for QAL Blocks 7, 10, 1 and 4. This is the final post for the cutting instructions to make your Spectrum QAL blocks in a 6″ finished size. I’ve enjoyed making these blocks with fabrics from The Little Girl in the Blue Armchair collection. Now you should try at least one – you’ll see how much fun they are to make! They’re tiny, but not difficult. And don’t hesitate to use a little starch on your fabrics; I love using Mary Ellen’s Best Press, especially when working with such small pieces. I sprayed the product in every step when making my blocks. Best Press contains a special stain shield which protects the fabrics, so when the blocks were finished, I also sprayed the right side of each one and pressed with a hot iron to make the block nice and flat.

Here’s the finished cushion we’re aiming for in this week’s posts which matches beautifully with the Spectrum QAL quilted bed runner.

Here are today’s cutting instructions for Blocks 9, 6, 3, and 12.
