\"Section<\/a>

Section Fourteen<\/p><\/div>\n

As I mentioned in Part Eight, I gave myself a framework for the patches, alternating crossed, diagonal, and straight stitches.<\/p>\n

Looking at the photograph now, there is a slight look of Victorian floor-tiles about\u00a0 the combination of the blue\u00a0 and yellow of the previous sections, and the brown and beige of this one.\u00a0 The proportion of brown isn’t correct for Victorian floor-tiles, but still…<\/p>\n

It occurs to me that we might have a lot of fun looking at this cushion when it’s done, looking for other things that it reminds us of!<\/p>\n

\"Caged<\/a>

Caged Rice Stitch<\/p><\/div>\n

I chose a Rice Stitch caged with straight stitches. I suppose this could be regarded as a combination of crossed stitches and straight stitches, which may throw my scheme slightly off-balance. I like it, though – the straight stitches look nicely padded, even though they aren’t, and the rice stitches add texture. I can imagine it looking “floral” in some colour combinations, but in this version, I think it emphasizes the “Victorian Floor Tile” feel I mentioned before.<\/p>\n

\"Section<\/a>

Section Fifteen<\/p><\/div>\n

I am getting really close to the end now – Section Fifteen is the last but one, as you can see by the square corner. Since I didn’t work on this project over the summer, I’m a bit surprised by that. I wish the project had been as good at stash busting as it has been at growing!<\/p>\n

You might have noticed that teal is one of my favourite colours and wondered why you haven’t seen more of it, but my stash is partly inherited and I don’t have very much of some colours.<\/p>\n

\"Double<\/a>

Double Twill Stitch<\/p><\/div>\n

After the complexity of Caged Rice Stitch (which, while fun, is on the complex side!) I went very simple indeed for Section Fifteen – Double Twill Stitch.<\/p>\n

So now I need to work out what colour – and what stitch – to use on the last section. And then how to finish the cushion…<\/p>\n

Easy, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
