New Pin Cushion

I made a cute little pin cushion! I got the pattern from the book, Pin Pals, by Carrie Nelson. I used my leftover triangles from the Swoon quilt. I used the Tilda fabric with the gray background fabric. 

Of course, they were a little big so I ironed first and then trimmed them down to size. I cut pieces for the sides as well as the corners. I set up my half square triangles nicely and sewed each row and then sewed the rows together.

I quilted the rows first across and then diagonally. Some areas were thick and I did break my needle. Oh, well, I probably needed a new one anyways!

I trimmed down to size and sewed write sides together. I filled the pin cushion with crushed walnut shells that I bought at PetSmart. (I still get emails asking about buying supplies for my pet reptile!)

And my pin cushion was complete! This is a nice quick project that used up some of my stash. That's always a good thing!
