At last I'm here to blog about my sunburst granny square cushion. It took me a month to complete it but as long as I managed to complete it time doesn't matter... right ?

I'm certainly in love with this one. I joined the squares with "as you go" method and it was a breeze to learn from this Tutorial. So say a big Yay! for me because I finally learned to join my squares as I go.

I still need to put some more ball fibre to make it squishy to my heart's content. I dont' like those empty corners so they really need to be filled up more.

Working up the back of the cushion was sort of a big issue for me. I didn't want to attach it to the fabric cushion cover this time. Having buttons on the back of the crochet cushions is quite practical as you can take out the cushion off easily when you want to wash it. What I did for my previous cushions was sewed up the envelope cushion covers and machine stitched the crocheted bits on front. They are easier to wash this way. But my machine is not always in a good mood and I didn't want to take a risk for this one. I've seen people attach their crocheted part with the fabric cushion cover by hand sewing but I wonder how wonderful people they are; they have lots of patience and good hand sewing skills both at the same time!

If I make it again I would use a smaller hook. Basically you should use smaller hook for granny squares. I wanted to block the cushion before working up the back but then again my lazy soul didn't allow me to do that.

There are more cushion & pillow shows coming soon so stay tuned ;)

Update-

Sorry friends I forgot to mention that I used Yvonne's pattern to make the circles and then joined them by following Sarah's tutorial.
