Create your own cushion from a hotchpotch of fabrics with just a few simple quilting techniques
In our January issue, we’ve taken a look at the incredibly rich history of the quilt. Over the centuries, quilts have done so much more than sit prettily on our beds and sofas. They’ve been used as art, as battle dress, as political statements and more besides.
We hope the feature will inspire you to stitch a few squares of fabric yourself, so we’ve included instructions in the issue to help you make this cheery cushion, above. You can find the instructions on page 85 of the January issue, which is on sale now. But before you get started you’ll need a template for your fabric squares. Click on the template below and print out as many copies as you need. You’ll need 39 hexagons in total and there are two on each page.
