  2. I had so much fun making this block! It really was a nice palate-cleanser after all the piecing, and a good start to the summer break here in NJ. Thanks for another great pattern!

    Thank you for this big, bold pin cushion design! I love Karen Buckley scissors for cutting shapes too!

    Why do we cut a 13 inch background when we want a 12 1/2″ at the end? Thanks

      Hi Susie, that’s a great question. Typically for applique, the fabric has a tendency to shrink a bit when you sew the edges regardless of needle turn or raw edge. It also helps give you a little wiggle room to center your applique pieces when you trim the excess. I hope that makes sense. Good luck!

    I love this block so much! It’s the perfect pincushion to add to our quilt. It’s amazing to me that this style of pincushion has been around for so long and is still common today.

    Also, I love the picture you took of your block. The color of that wood background is beautiful.

    That’s a great block, and one that could be used to make all kinds of sewing and crafty presents for friends. Thanks for your work on designing and making this example. Love the blue!
