I've been working away with those lovely yarns I bought a couple of weeks ago and finally finished my rose motif cushion cover today. Here it is, out in the sun and looking pretty gorgeous IMHO!!
I made one side in the rose motif squares, 9 squares in total, each with 5 rounds.
And the other is a granny stripe pattern of the 3 colours, with 2 rows of each colour in each stripe.
It's fastened with lime green mis-matched buttons (bought on Etsy from this seller, BigFish; well worth a look, she has oodles of fantastic button!).
It's a happy coincidence that as I was finishing this off, these lovely purple roses are blooming in the garden, serendipitous indeed.
I'm liking this harmony between my crochet and my garden, it's magical when that happens!
It looks lovely, especially alongside those lovely purple roses you have in your garden. Beautiful work.

That is lovely, I am particularly impressed with the way you've finished the back so nicely, really it has two fronts.
