Swirl Cushions Pattern by Valori Wells

Swirl cushions are an adaptation of the traditional “Wheel of Fortune” quilt pattern. They are designed to use as few as two fabrics, or as many as sixteen, to create any style you desire. Simple curve construction and a “Yo-Yo” center make a playful statement that can accessorize any setting.

Supplies:

The swirl shaped template can be cut from one fabric (16), two fabrics (8 each), four fabrics (4 each), or scraps (16 total).
