We are back from our trip to Brisbane! Thanks for all the good luck wishes – Sarah’s team were fantastic and it was such a great experience for the kids. Thanks also for all the wonderful comments on my Midwest Modern Quilt – I was blown away by all the sweet feedback.
You may recall I made some scrappy log cabins earlier in the year. I have combined them to make a large cushion cover sized to fit a European Pillow.
These large pillows are great for kids to sit on while playing on the floor with their Lego etc. I added a little pocket on the back – perfect for leaving secret notes for each other.

Beautiful work – so neat – great stuff!
This pillow is so fun and cheery! I love that you let the kids sit on it while they play Legos. It is too easy to keep the lovely stuff in the corner. Set it out and use it, I say!
Love that pillow. Very happy!
so colorful and very pretty!
So very glad that you had a wonderful time in Brisbane. Your pillow is just wonderful. I love the bright colors.

i love the log cabin, the colors, the pocket, that it is zippable! cute all around.

Both your quilt and this big cushion are super stunning. The colours in the cushion colours are seriously vibrant and cheerful. Just wonderful.
There is nothing better than a bunch of log cabins. Hands Down.
This pillow is so gorgeous! And I love that little pocket on the back for leaving secret notes. I would love to make one of these, since we lounge on the floor a lot. Congrats on the Mod Podge feature – that’s really cool!
very nice and colourful.
Welcome home girls, and so glad you had a great time 🙂 Congrats on the MOD PODGE feature, must check it out. Your scrappy log cabins are just gorgeous, but I’m not sure I could put it on the floor 🙂
That pillow is so cute! I think I have just found my ispiration for my girls room make over! Thanks!!

The bright colored pillow is great!
How gorgeous and then the little pocket. Amazing.

Fantastic color choices! I really like the black and white punches. And that little pocket! You always do that — you take an idea and add that one little special thing that makes your projects so original and wonderful!
What a fabulously fun cushion!
I had just read your about your mini notebooks. I’ve been geaning ideas for my quilt guild next year when I’m president. I knew you would be a great resource.
This cushion is so much fun. I especially love the pocket on the back – perfect! 🙂
What a great pillow. Those colours, it’s fun! I would love to sit on it and play with lego too 😉
Oooooo – I think I love this pillow!! A great way to use up some scraps!
Love it Lisa! I need to do some serious scrap busting and need a project like this. Well done to Sarah too
Beautiful cushion I myself have some log cabin squares done and have a European pillow I think I should make one or two… Could you please just tell me what is the width of the white sashing?

It sounds like a nice time in Brisbane! The cushions are so beautiful! I love how combined the fabrics!
Sooo pretty… just LOVE the bright, jazzy colors, Lisa! That “hidden” pocket is such fun. So glad you had a great time in Brisbane. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
Cute, cute – I think I like the back even better than the front.
It was my pleasure. And that pillow is amazing! xo

Love the pillow! The pattern would make a neat quilt too! Bet that would a lot of work though 🙂
Oh this is so pretty. I just love the log cabin block, but I mostly love using the log cabin ruler 😉
Thank you for your visit and sweet comment! Enjoy your day!!
I love the colors you chose, mixed with the crisp white… what a happy pillow! And having a spot to leave/ find a sweet note is frosting on the cake.
OOOh! I love this! That secret pocket is the cutest thing… my kids would love leaving notes there. Really lovely work!
I love your colourful big cushion. It just might have given me an idea for something I am about to begin. Thanks for sharing!
Your log cabin pillow & quilts are beautiful – you should be very pleased – your work is lovely. Susan
Oh Lisa — that’s just gorgeous! Now I want one — or MORE! Love the colors!!!

Love your pillow. great way to use leftover blocks.
Going to check out the mod podge blog. I just mod podged some fabric on some metal containers. Fun!
Hello Lisa, thankyou for your post on the Log Cabin pillow….my family love to lay on the floor and watch telly….I looked at some Japanese cushions recently…but they were stained….you solved my problem…Warm Regards Lyn
i like the fresh, bright colors on an old favorite pattern!
WOW!!!! That is gorgeous. Log cabin is my favorite quilt pattern. I was looking at a new Bernina sewing machine this weekend! Sigh! I will take at least two weeks to think about it.
What a fabulous pillow, wonderful colours!
This is sooo awesome, you are sooo clever
I love that secret note pocket!
Although a bit late, but oh oh wath a beauty!!! so colorful and that little secret pocket does it!

Love from Texas! ~bonnie
This is BEAUTIFUL! I’m just working on my first and second quilts. (Both lap quilts) I have never seen a log cabin pattern that was inspiring, but all of a sudden I NEED to make one!
That is stunning. I have never seen a log cabin pattern that is inspiring but now I HAVE to make one!
Hi hi,
wish you a happy weekend … and you are a sweet tooth too, come and join the Candie… Hugs Myriam
How pretty…love the colors!
Oh, I love it! My children need to sit on some pillows like this!
I love this – I have so many scraps that I really need to use up – this is exactly (well a la Rachael Rabbit) what I plan to do with them!
