Help me find matching toss cushion cover material for new CL chairs
I got a new sunporch dining set off CL and the thin green stripes in the chair cushion fabric perfectly match the all-green cushions on my wicker set. I would now like to find fabric to make, or to buy, sofa toss cushion covers that would tie the two sets together- needs some of the muted red from the dining set and perhaps also some of the green as well. When I google "red and green fabric" or "red and green cushions", I get mostly garish Christmas colors instead of the muted red and apple green colors that are in this set. So I thought I would turn to the "experts" here.
Thanks in advance for any help!

7 years agotxs for asking!
It is a covered sunporch so does not need to be outdoor fabric.
The unifying fabric would be on toss cushions on the sofa and rocker.
Open to pattern but current set would not go with vintage patterns.
I have some night pictures taken on thesun porch so the lighting is poor, but the solid green sofa fabric color is a really good match for the "apple green" in the chair above. The armchair fabric is a subtle plaid with stripes that match the sofa as well as slightly darker green stripes and minimal cream stripes.

Comments (32)I just wanted to let everyone know the final outcome of the settees. As previously stated, my husband and I went to see the settees in person and they were quite lovely and seemed very well made. I ultimately decided to offer $1200 for both settees and the seller agreed. I know some of you may think that I'm spending far too much on them, but for silk settees in perfect condition that mach our dimensions and decor I'm both relieved and happy. This is one major item I can cross off my "To Find" list. Now I can focus my efforts on finding some chairs to place in the bay front of our living room. -Thanks again to all of you for your advice, suggestions, and opinions....See MoreCL chairs need help for my MB!

Comments (12)Thank you all so much! I will check out the links. I've seen this chair with slight variations for many years and always liked them. I'd really like to sit in one before buying but if anyone knows they are comfy I will just buy them site unseen. lol justgotabme, thanks for the PB tip. I wasn't sure if it belonged to you so didn't want to swipe your pic. : ) momtoreese, YES! I love that one! My DH doesn't like toile. It reminds him of Wind in the Willows, a book that scared him as a child. Silly man, he'll get over it. ; ) Thanks for finding it! I don't think that's a bad price if it's good quality. It's just DH and me most of the time and we aren't hard on furnishings. I have a Broyhill chair that was marked down from $800 to $500 that I got for $450 (talked them down another $50) and it still looks practically new after 3-4 years. whenicit, that site has some lovely chairs. Thanks! amysrq, thanks! I saw it on the Lee site awhile back but when I used the dealer locator it came up with a place that did not have that chair. Darn. Maybe I will call them and see if they can locate it for me. I need two. Two in that blue toile! : ) Gawd, I'm so tempted to click and buy. lol! Diana...See Morescrappy25
7 years agoWhat do you think of this one? (the poppy fabric) Maybe the red is too red? I like how happy it is.
Here it is on a chair as a toss pillow

7 years agoThere's another fabric by the same designer Annie Selke, "Toadstool" which is perfect but seems to be discontinued aargh. There are clearance 26" pillows on their website but those are too big for the sofas.

7 years agoIt's perfect - I like to use a heavier weight fabric instead of lightweight cotton for home dec items. I just saw this, which would be great for your new set Scramble Raspberry Fern.
