Cuddly Koala cushion

One of Kristy @ Quiet Plays patterns that I have wanted to make for a while is the cute Koala from the Zoo series.
 The pattern was fairly easy to do but the eyes were certainly a challenge - such tiny pieces!!
Once the koala was pieced, I decided to make it into a cushion so added some borders to make it fit an 18" pillow form.
And did some cross hatch quilting before binding it in the pale blue.
The perfect spot for a photo of the finished cushion was in front of a eucalyptus tree.
And I even found a koala in one of the gum trees at the university near where I live.
Linking up with Fabric Tuesday @ Quiltstory.

    So cute pillow!!! It's amazing that you have those koalas climbing in trees. I think I have never seen one, not even in the zoo :)

    Cute cushion! I'm sure the real koala appreciated it! Congratulations on the finish and thanks for linking up to the FAL quarter three on behalf of your team of hosts

    I love this cushion! I just bought the zoo animals pattern from Quiet Play and the Koala is the second on my list, after I make the monkey. I plan to do cushions, too, and was going to just use more background to make it big enough. But I like your border so much I think I will do that instead! It's lovely!
