It's made from two brown wool sweaters (recycled into felt), so it's lovely and soft. It'll be making its home on our sofa...
... I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and the boyfriend even approves (it's probably all that brown, boys like brown, don't they?).
I've written up some instructions for anyone who fancies making their own bit of argyle goodness. Check back tomorrow for the tutorial!

That's a really great cushion but looks a lot of work.
That is awesome - love it! :)
That is so good! Gorgeous - you are clever x
Wow that's gorgeous, and a huge amount of work, well done. It looks great with your sofa too!
Are you gonna make a matching one?
It looks fantastic on the Chesterfield!
That's so cool!! I have been looking through your blog...there are so many things that I want to read on in this blog.
I have a question for you on your snowflake curtain from a couple of years ago...did you use heavyweight paper for the flakes?
Thanks,
Lisa
It's really nice!!! It looks great on that sofa.
That is so funky - I love it!!!
I love it! It looks great on your sofa, but it would look even better on mine. ;-) I want one, too!
Oh I love it, looking forward to the tutorial!
Your cushions look gorgeous !
They look so stylish on your beautiful couch !
oooh this is lovely-I am currently on a big cushion making mission-I may have to make up one of these beauties!
Thanks for the comments everyone!
Yes, it was definitely a lot of work but worth it I think :)
Unfortunately I've now run out of sweater fabric in those colours so I wouldn't be able to make one to exactly match it. I've got some other ideas for cushions I want to try though... watch this space!
Lisa - I just used ordinary white printer paper for the snowflakes, you could use any paper you liked though I guess thicker paper might be harder to fold?
That must have been hard work cutting and stitching piece by piece...good job ...I love it
