2 Fat Quarters

I bought this delightful fabric in Barcelona last July. The blues and greys with a hint of citrus green are the colour tones for our new living room. I used the two fat quarters to make new coasters, using a simple design and three rows of top stitching to create a bumped effect.
 
The cushion uses a new trick for me - pleats! There are not all perfect but I like the overall outcome. I had some grey spotty crochet trimmed binding lying around too so used this to edge the start of the pleats and the edge of the envelope opening on the back.
 
And the last of the fabric I used to make a diary cover for work. No one will mistake their diary for mine now! Again I used the grey binding as a page finder.
