Default Two recent project, lapquilt and pillows

I've been working on 2 projects concurrently the past few months and now they are both ready. First is a quilt top that will be a lap quilt for my friend. This went much faster than I expected.
I would like to find a peacock feather stencil for the quilting but haven't found one I liked, so I may try to freehand something myself.

In addition, I updated the cushions and pillows in the windowbench that hadn't been changed out for over 10 years and were all faded now. It is a south facing bench that gets a lot of light.
First I tried the cathedral windows technique on a pillow. It came out alright but I found I didn't like using that technique. Also my first curved piecing and first time doing cording on the large cushions. I still have a few more pillows to applique but they aren't urgent.

I love the quilt and cushions. Your window seat is so nice and it looks great with your new additions. Great job all around.

The peacock quilt is fabulous and the window seat looks cozy and a great place to read or nap under a quilt.
peace
