You'll Never Guess What I Made

Another pincushion.

I know.

And it's from another Farmer's Wife mistake block, too.

(Read about it here.)

I wasn't sure if I should finish the block before making it into a pincushion.  But I really didn't want to.  I know it wouldn't have been a big deal - just cut a few squares in half, stick 'em on the corners and ... done. 

But I just.didn't.want.to.  So I didn't. 

So glad too ... I love this octagon shape!

Don't you just love it when being lazy also turns out being awesome?

 

Congratulations to Susan for winning the $50 gift certificate to Bear Creek Quilt Company!  And thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway.

Kristyne, your pin cushions are so beautiful! Would you ever consider opening up an etsy shop? I would buy your products in a heart beat.
