This cushion is really a large version of a Lotus Biscornu, and used May Britt’s Pincushion Tutorial as a starting point (with her permission). I thought it ended up looking like a cut piece of Star Fruit, hence the name. This cushion is about 14 3/4″ in diameter and about 7 1/2” high.

I love it! Pretty simple sewing involved since it’s mainly straight lines (with a bit of the cushion sewn closed by hand). Use some pretty prints, add a couple decorative buttons, stuff it well and voila! a creative cushion that is sure to add a touch of fun to any room. Lots of pictures and details for making the cushion are included in the tutorial.

Please visit the site listed above for the project details, nice job!
