Anyway, the top is mostly done. I will have to add a little bit more of the sashing material to get the top edge squared off. (Somewhere along the line I miscalculated!).
Next will be to cut the fabric for the back of the cushion. I'd love it to be a box pillow with welting, but I don't have the sewing skills for that and I'm pretty sure it would cost a mint to have it done professionally, given it's size (18"x60"!!) So it will be a simple knife edge. I do need to put a zipper in though or it will be impossible to get the pillow in! I will make an inner muslin pillow so that the stuffing doesn't touch the needlepoint.

I find this fascinating. It's something I would never attempt, but I'm loving what you're doing.
It looks fabulous! I love the idea but my cat would think I made it for him.
what a great use for lots of needlepoint pieces. love how you have put them together and iam sure the knife edge cushion will be fine.
