Owl cushion cover

I made an owl cushion cover today as a gift for my friend Jessica she is a teacher who has decorated her classroom in an owl theme with bright orange, lime green and teal, I helped her create a tree yesterday in her classroom too!

The cushion is to go on that Adirondack chair in the reading corner.

 This is the free pattern I used:
