Pattern description
A richly patterned counted cross stitch featuring alternating crimson and periwinkle star medallions framed in golden yellow crosses. The symmetrical composition creates a bold, geometric effect that demands precision and patience. With 209 x 209 stitches and 18 DMC thread colors, this advanced needlework project rewards experienced stitchers with a striking final piece.
This cushion cover design works beautifully as both a decorative home accent and a thoughtful handmade gift. The jewel-toned palette of deep reds and cool blues against warm gold creates an elegant, sophisticated mood suitable for traditional or eclectic interiors. When stitched on 14-count Aida fabric, the finished piece measures approximately 15 x 15 inches—ideal for accent pillows or decorative cushions. The repeating motif ensures visual interest from every angle, making it perfect for displaying needlework skills and adding textile warmth to living spaces, bedrooms, or dens.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
