A few years ago, my grandmother got a new comfy couch. When my sister and I visited, we all went shopping to choose fun new cushions to decorate it. She chose pretty and colorful pillows, including a nice one with butterflies on it.
So when October rolled around and I wanted to make her a birthday present, I decided to add to her cushion collection. I relied on my tried-and-true patchwork approach, using alternating squares for the front and stripes for the back.

I accented it with four of the fancier buttons from my collection. A while back I bought one of those baggies of random assorted buttons that the fabric store was selling for cheap, and I always manage to find just what I need from it. In this case, I went with blue-gray buttons that matched the fabric nicely, with a subtle gold accent for a touch of class.

Note: the pillow looks a little overstuffed in the pictures because the filling I used compacts quite a lot over time, so it will get flatter with use.
