I've seen so many wonderful pincushions with the crazy mom quilts pincushion party. I couldn't help myself and had to make a few.
Here's an example using 1 inch (right), 1.25 inch (middle), and 1.5 inch (left) strips with this tutorial. I made the smaller one first which finished about 3 inches square. Then I tried the 1.5 inch strips, which finished too big at 6 inches square. I think the perfect size is the middle one which finished about 4 inches square! What do you think?
I made some stacked coins for these two and fussy cut the deer print for one of the backs. I was inspired by this tutorial.
Check out my pincushion board for more inspiration. Linking up with crazy mom quilts.
So cute!! I may have to try to squeeze in one or two this week!! I may have to steal your idea and put my salvages in a jar!!
ReplyDeleteI like your pincushions and I agree..the 4" one is great size.
