This is what happens when you play with a mini quilt block

by Nicole

I’ve been having fun playing around with my mini log cabin block.

I made a mini block with a linen center and a random set of solids for the logs.

I added four pieces of linen for the sides and one piece for the bottom. With a stitch here and there – voilà! I made a pincushion.

I already have several pincushions, but what’s one more?!?

That is adorable. It would also make a cute tree ornament!

Very cute. That would be a cat toy here…. I have to keep my pins stuck to something heavy.
It is beautiful and yes, I like the idea above to make Christmas ornaments

Thanks, Rosemary! Cats love pincushions don’t they?!? I could see slipping some cat nip inside for the kitties to go wild and turning it into a cat toy.
And yes, I love the idea of an ornament too!

How gorgeous! And a girl can never have too many pincushions!

Thanks, Meredithe! I’m definitely in the “More pincushions!” camp!
