Simple patchwork squares in Folksy Flannels fabrics make a snuggly cushion for a child’s bedroom. These gorgeous fabrics from Free Spirit by Anna Maria Horner are called Folksy Flannels and come in beautiful soft co-ordinating shades with a stylish retro feel.

The soft brushed cotton is perfect for our patchwork cushion, and there’s even a matching cot cover you could use as a blanket for a cot or as a throw for an older child’s bedroom. The Folksy Flannels are worth seeking out for cosy pyjamas and cuddly toys too.

Our free patchwork cushion pattern, made in simple squares, is a great introduction for those new to the craft.
