Too finicky for my own good...

So, having gotten 30-45cm by ~1.8m of nice even weave (linen?) embroidery fabric for 80c, I want to make cushions out of it. Specifically bolster style cushions which can double as pillows on the Viking bed. Long rectangular ones, that can also sit on the chests etc.
So far, so good. Next step, picking a design.

And upon checking, the Hornblower episode on ABC on Sat night WAS one that we didn't have on tape (Loyalty). Must remember to tape the one next weekend (Duty).
