The Stella Quilt Cushion is a beautifully intricate knit project that combines the elegance of traditional quilting techniques with the cozy texture of hand-knit fabric. Designed to mimic the look of a patchwork quilt, the front of the cushion cover is constructed first, with each square seamlessly added to the next by picking up stitches along the edges or incorporating clever German short rows to shape and join the segments without bulky seams. This modular approach not only eliminates the need for extensive seaming but also creates a visually stunning layout of interlocking shapes and colors that resemble a classic quilt top. Once the front panel is complete, the back is constructed in a similar fashion, either worked as a continuous piece or in separate sections that mirror the aesthetic of the front. The entire cover is knit flat, making it accessible for knitters who prefer not to work in the round. To finish, the sides are either sewn together using a neat and nearly invisible mattress stitch, or a functional closure—such as a flap with buttons or ties—can be added for easy removal and washing. The Stella Quilt Cushion is not only a satisfying project to knit, but it also becomes a statement piece in any room, offering both comfort and a handmade touch of artistry to your home decor. Whether worked in a bold, modern palette or soft, vintage-inspired tones, this cushion celebrates the beauty of texture, color, and thoughtful construction.
