Inspired by the traditional Hawaiian applique quilts and the famous paper cutout shapes of master artist Henri Matisse, the two ideas came together to make this quilt and cushions.

This pattern includes instructions to make the pieced low volume background for a throw sized quilt, and instructions for the two cushion designs.

Included are 8 templates to trace to make your own Matisse Cutout shapes to needle turn applique to your background in a design of your own choosing.

Please note : detailed instructions on needle turn applique are NOT included, but links to some good online tutorials are.
Likewise, instructions on cushion construction are not included. You should make your cushion with a closure of your choice, envelope back, zipper, or buttons.

Finished quilt size
137cm x 136cm approx.

Finished cushion 1 size

Finished cushion 2 size

I describe myself as a sometimes quilter.

I made my first quilt from dressmaking scraps of Liberty cotton lawn, and was immediately hooked on the process.

Without any formal tuition in quilt making, I've sewn my way through several quilts, allowing the fabrics I work with to inform the process.
A kind of colour and pattern play!
