Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch cushion cover showcases a striking geometric composition of ruby-framed diamonds in periwinkle blue, accented with golden-yellow floral centers against crisp white negative space. The design repeats in a perfectly balanced grid, creating visual rhythm ideal for a finished throw pillow. Stitched across 223 x 223 stitches using nine DMC thread colors, the advanced skill level rewards patient needleworkers with a sophisticated home accent that bridges traditional and contemporary aesthetics. The rich jewel tones—deep forest green, burgundy, and sapphire—deliver warmth and elegance suitable for living rooms or bedrooms seeking a distinctive needlework display piece.
Stitch planning checklist
