with two bits of material gifted to me from a fellow quilter I met at work. There were bits in her stash she had not got plans for so they became my stash.
There can be interesting inspiration in gifted bits. Material I might not have chosen for myself but looking at them I am inspired.
In this instance it had to be a cushion for my cat mad brother and his equally cat mad wife. Then I thought perhaps one each using the gifted material on the front and something else on the back.
That morphed into the back being decorated using T shirt pens and the fabric dye pastels, as the seams would take bits of the original cats and mice away. Add their names ready to make cushions. 
They turned out OK I think.
Maybe a little big for the filling, but then it has room to move.
My brother and sister-in-law liked them.
Monsieur Twiggy Toupe (yes they really did call this cat that) really really likes this one and has claimed it as his.
That one of the cats would end up on the cushions was not unexpected.
