Patchwork

I am loving patchwork!  Googling pictures and researching how to make a very simple one.  I've seen ones with just fleece back lining so I think I might use one of my fleece blankets.  I love fleeces, they're so soft and snugly. 
I did have a go at making a patchwork cushion cover but am not happy with it.  I unpicked it and damaged the fabric.  To match my curtain and wallpaper (bought the matching fabric when I bought the wallpaper)  I lined it with DD's old baby blanket.  The next one will be better.

The first thing I made at the sewing class was an envelope style cushion cover.  I will post a pic next time.

I am collecting fabric at the moment, buying curtains, duvet covers and even cutting up DD's dresses (outgrown ones).  My stash of fabric is growing.  I will start cutting them soon into 6-inch squares. 


 Here are some sites that I bookmark for reference:
