Puff patchwork or also called biscuit patchwork is another of my favorite patterns. I simply love the bulging squares of the pattern. Biscuit or puff quilts have been around for some time and were popular during the Victorian era. The puff patchwork are made with individually squares sewn together and stuffed with light weight polyester filling or batting found at craft stores. It may look complicated but if you do chain-piecing method it is not too laborious. I did one big puff quilt many years back which I still treasure.
I have decided to make puff patchwork cushion covers for the coming festive season which is barely a month away. Because of my bamboo sofa set in dark brown I usually use brown theme to match the sofa set. The completed cushion cover below.
But this cushion remind me more of Ferrero Rocher chocolates due to the color combination. Yummy.

Imagin to put some of these cushions under the neck… I like to read laying in the armchair among the cushions. And the cat likes to lay over me…
The photo is very nice for interesting light.

Liudmila, if the puffs are lightly stuffed the cushion is more comfortable.I made a bedspread and will post the pictures when I find them.

What a great piecing idea! That would definitely make great pillows.
