I while ago I had bought the Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 layer cake to use for the designing of 'My First Quilt'. When I made the quilt top, I really didn't like it - too busy and clashing without any sashing in my opinion.

Never one to waste fabric, I unpicked it all and reused most of it to make this:
This is a floor cushion, made using the Stack 'n whack patchwork method, which I'll be teaching in class this Autumn.
The black sashing really lends itself to this fabric collection and seems to calm them down somehow!
The stack 'n' whack method of piecing is great fun too, and I love the crazy patchwork effect you get from it.
This is another great project to use with a layer cake. Even though the blocks finish at approx. 7", they need to start off at 10" due to the number of cuts and seams allowances that go into them.
I feel much happier now that I've used Cosmo Cricket in a way that suits the fabric.
