Quilt as you go Cushion

Before I started quilting my original quilt top I thought I’d have a practice on a smaller item. I had read an inspiring “quilt as you go” tutorial on Nova’s a cuppa and a catch up blog and tried it on a cushion size. My son’s room features a lot of red so I got together red fabrics from the stash and a cute elephant print I bought recently, (not knowing what to do with it) and made this cushion. If you don’t look too closely it looks good-ish! Now I may be ready to tackle the quilt… or not. Maybe a few more tips and tricks of the trade needed.  I'll let you know how it goes!
