I know I should wait for My Creative Space day, but I just can't - I'm so excited that I've actually made the crochet triangle panels into proper cushions :))
Sorry about the quality of the photos (further example of me just jumping in and posting!)...
After a visit to Ikea, where I was thoroughly disenchanted with the quality of cushions, I decided to make my own and just jumped into sewing the backing on the panels as well.
The two below are pre-sold so I had that impetus to finish them too.
The backing is actually a plain linen (apologies for the weirding of the weave).
It's been fun going through my button collection looking for the perfect set of buttons for each one. The buttons I used on the cushion above are by Laura Walker which I found at the V&A Museum in London a couple of years ago... so pleased they've found their perfect place :)
I'm still working away at finishing the rest and will hopefully have them in my shop by Thursday or Friday. Isn't it funny how some weeks you just faff about at high speed producing little and then all of a sudden you are powering away..?
Hope it's been a powerful start to the week for you too :)

That new one with the single tan triangle is clearly the greatest thing ever. WANT!! :)
You are so amazing with colour. I would never think to pout colours together like you do, it always looks amazing.
They are just wonderful! I so understand what you mean about Ikea's cushions not being up-to-scratch with either construction or in my humble opinion design at the moment!! Love your wqork...:)
love them. such great colour combinations. in my humble opinion ikea is the devils own shop and should be avoided at all times. not that easy though as its just so convenient!

Kylie I can barely breath. These are absolutely beyond the beyond. And what you've done to the reverse sides just leaves me speechless. The details, MY GOD. These are so so special. I'm over the moon with these gorgeous triangle lovelies. Think I will have to buy a charcoal couch for them now because they look stunning on that colour.
