When the quilt is done, why not make matching throw cushions? In reality, I just had a lot of leftover fabric. Fat quarters go a surprisingly long way!
I started with small filler cushions from IKEA. They're perfect for a small budget, though very lightweight. I picked up this tutorial on how to make a ruffle for the center of the larger cushion. It's quite easy - the trick is the make sure you have enough length to actually ruffle! For a nice finished edge on the ruffle it's helpful to do a roll hem, but I don't have the proper foot for my machine. I instead improvised by making the tiniest hem possible! It still turned out, so I have no complaints.
