Cushion Backs

I purchased that burgundy velvet and can recommend it highly. It is of very high quality, rich and lush in feel, not a trace of thin polyester “velvet.” The color is also very rich and classic.

I've been lusting after that cotton velvet that currently only comes in the scrap bags. It looks so lush and wonderful, that I imagine it would make a super fabulous cushion back. Wouldn't it be decadent to nap on that? The Burgundy color doesn't quite work with my current project queue, so for now I'm still scheming about how I might be able to work it in somewhere.

The cushion back kit that comes with the Corinthian Bridal shawl is 23x23 because the finished pillow is 21x21. But, I don't think the navy stripe fabric will work with the floss colors in the kit. The kit has an option for the coordinating paisley fabric that I chose because it matches the floss colors really well, but if you want something different, the only option I've got right now that would match would be the Kona cotton.

I don’t think it would be too small. But I’m assuming then that you are not working the version that is the kit with the cushion back included? The design is a linear one so you can center it in your piece of fabric that is cut as a square. Whatever you use, the cushion backs are square and the design is rectangular, so you have to square up your linen piece.
