'Sheep' Cushion

My friend Julie's birthday present ideas:

• Something for the new house
• Something bright coloured and fun
• Something with sheep on it!

I had some sheep fabric in my stash already so that was my starting point and I popped along to The Village Haberdashery for some more ideas. After falling in love with their spotty sheep fabric selection I decided 'Patchwork' and purchased fat-quarters in four amazing colours.

After doing a lot of doodles of different pattern blocks I came up with this pattern for a cushion...

The rest of the design and making came together really quickly...

Julie loves the new addition to her new house :-)

Watch this space for more versions in this pattern...
