I couldn't decide which cushion backing I liked best...when I can't decide I usually leave it and go back later and then the best choice often seems to jump out! They would all look lovely. Well done on your beautiful sewing, and how sweet the furry friends are too keeping you company.

My sewing skills are fairly basic,not advanced by any means, I've just been doing it for a long time and maybe learnt a few tricks (the hard way, believe me - like recipes, I cannot just follow patterns, I have to do it my way and work it all out for myself - usually the hard way!) I'm pretty sure you could do the same. Maybe I should do a simple tutorial on converting traycloths to cushion covers? When I find time maybe I'll do that if it would be of use to anyone.<br />Gill xgillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-23966297081144127812011-02-22T17:21:17.312+00:002011-02-22T17:21:17.312+00:00Thanks for your lovely comments on my post today.I...Thanks for your lovely comments on my post today.I envy your sewing skills.I have a cupboard full of vintage tray cloths etc,and I would LOVE to do what you have done with yours,but I know my sewing isn't up to it and I'd probably ruin them!<br />Any of those fabrics would look lovely for the back of your cushion,I would choose the check one,but then I love checks! :0)bellaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579328217041430937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-15782652061507256262011-02-22T15:28:04.179+00:002011-02-22T15:28:04.179+00:00OOhhhh thanks for all your lovely comments and tho...OOhhhh thanks for all your lovely comments and thoughts so far. Its really helpful, and so far I agree with the back being either the toile or the 60s/70s pink floral.<br />They are all vintage fabrics (except the homespun which is new), and all pretty in their own way, so its difficult to decide.<br />As it happens, I have found a couple more of the same napkins buried at the bottom of my treasure trove of rather musty linen, so it may be that I can try more than one back. It's too much to wash all in one go so I tend to wash a batch each time I make something, hence am always finding something I'd forgotten I had.<br />Maybe an idea for a giveaway in the near future to, if it turns out well.<br />Gill xgillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-58628886066476196622011-02-22T14:42:03.698+00:002011-02-22T14:42:03.698+00:00Wow, just beautiful!

For the beautiful lace piece I like the tonal background, and for the back, did I spy a toile print amongst your fabric? That might look lovely! Maybe a ruffle . . . I'm sure whatever you select will be beautiful.

I picked up an old duvet cover from a CS on a recent trawl and it was very similar but in blues so I may be a little biased!<br /><br />HxPink Milkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664644078460614884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364970258186883429.post-20646975396616050172011-02-22T11:48:12.208+00:002011-02-22T11:48:12.208+00:00I think that last one will work well.
