Crazy Patchwork Knitted Cushion

At the moment I am still working on a new version my previously unloved cardigan but I am thinking ahead – what am I going to knit next?  I think I may do another carpet bag using my adaptation of the crazy patchwork idea from Myra Wood’s book. 

 

Several years ago I did something similar to make a circular cushion as an entry for competition to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of the Knitting and Crochet Guild.

I had to include silver but otherwise you could use any colour.  I just used some colours that I had left over from other projects.  The cushion was made from the lovely but almost discontinued Colinette Fandango.  However, I still have several skeins left in my stash to use for the new bag.
