A while back I made several of these little squares, planning to make them into a cushion. Somehow I just didn't get round to it (most probably too many other projects to distract me...!) and had actually forgotten all about it (a regular occurrence with me, i have to admit!) until last week. So over the past couple of days, I have been crocheting the little squares together and have finally finished my little cushion...
For the back of the cushion, I made a plain granny square...
It matches my first granny blanket perfectly! The colours are the same as I just used scraps of yarn leftover from the blanket to finish off the cushion. For the squares I used the pattern for the little squares in the Springtime Throw from Cute & Easy Crochet by Nicki Trench and the pattern for the plain granny square at the back of the cushion is from 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton.
I am really happy with it, I really love the fresh spring colours. I have been crochet mad this week actually and have another couple of little projects on the go which I hope to finish off today and then I really must get back to the ice cream blanket!
I am working all weekend so no crochet, knitting or crafting for me but I hope everyone has a lovely weekend whatever you are up to.
