Project in Progress: Flower Cushion

I have had the idea of making a decorative cushion with crochet flowers for quite a while. Finally, I set my hands to implement the idea into life.   

I want to make a cushion for my bedroom, which is decorated in three colors – white, pale green, and light blue. The flowers on my cushion should be in those colors but in different sizes and shapes.

I’m not following any specific pattern; therefore, this project requires some experimenting. At first, I used two big granny square to make the cushion cover. However, I soon discovered that wasn’t a good choice as my finished cover stretched and simply didn’t hold its shape. I tried single crochets into back loops only and it seems to work well.

The yarn I’m using for the cushion cover is recycled. It came from an old sweater of mine that I knitted seven or eight years ago. But I’m using new yarn to make the flowers as I want them to be perfect.

I can’t wait to finish this decorative cushion! I believe it will add some romantic charm to my bedroom decor.
