Certifiable is the name of this pin cushion from the book, Pin Pals. I'm planning on making a Swoon quilt and thought this pin cushion would be a great way to prepare. It measures about 6" by 6". Everything is so small! I love how it came out but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be!
I thought I would just try to make the middle star. It didn't seem too bad so I cut out the rest of the pieces. There's a total of 64 pieces for this pin cushion. I cut them out and sewed a few pieces together.
This is what I had left to put together. I just went row by row and then put the rows together.
This is the block before being trimmed and the borders added. Phew! I still have to quilt the top and backing to a piece of batting. Then, I just have to sew it together and fill. I'm having a cup of coffee right now. I think the pin cushion wore me out!!
Nice block...you always got so much patience. I struggle with piecing intricate designs
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karin! My patience was running out a few times but I just kept going. It's not my best piecing job but it's finished!
Delete64 pieces? Wow rosemary--you did a super job on this one...
ReplyDeleteit is very pretty hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Julierose! Parts of it drove me crazy but I did finish it!
DeleteTiny work of art!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em!!!
DeleteGreat little pincushion. Kuddos for sticking it out with all those tiny pieces. Mine may have had a design element (is that what they call it when you design it different.....creative license ha ha)
ReplyDeleteDawn, you're so funny! It was a pain but I love how it came out. I'm going to try an easier one next time!
