I've been obsessed with the chevron striped pillow that Dana at Made posted. I kept seeing it pop up on all the Craft link sites I follow.
The thing is, bold brightly colored striped home furnishings are really not me. That didn't make any difference, I just kept thinking about it.
I finally just broke down, dug out the striped fabric remnant I had from Ikea and gave it a go.
I was playing around with the strips and really liked how it looked with the dark/light bands offset. It's still not very "me" but I really like it.
I didn't have enough of the striped fabric to do both sides, so the back is a simple white cotton with overlapping edges (envelope style? brain not working). The cushion is 12"x17" (ish) and I made a little cushion to put inside.
At the moment it's on my couch where it clashes emphatically. But... I'm so glad I gave in and made it!

You are so clever!! It's not my style either but it's beautiful anyway, so bright and cheerful and being Canadian it's the flag colours!!
I can see why you had to make it - it's lovely!
