I am still really happy with the COLOURS I chose.
I had some misgivings about the randomness of the project but I think that these colours work well together.
At the start of the project I thought about using something fancier or more colourful.
I made a few test squares while trying to get my thoughts in order. 9 x popcorn stitch flower squares, 9 x simple double crochet squares and 3 x prototype of my final choice. There were enough squares to make a cushion (which is not really spectacular but it kind of grows on you!):
The 9 x popcorn flower squares make up the front.
The 9 x double crochet squares make up the back and the other 3 I used for the flap, fastened down with odd buttons.
