As I was moving things around and putting things away, I ran into some of these ~
As I was getting ready to put them in the trash, I thought, oh what a waste of good fabric. Now, these are the cut off ends from one of my strip quilts that I sewed each strip on a 45 degree angle and then cut off these little Schnibbles.
Then a lightbulb went off and almost blinded me!! I'll make a pincushion out these little pieces. First I sewed all the ones I found together like so ~
I pressed them open ~
Squared them all off ~ Oh, that's a penny sitting amongst my new blocks!! :-))
Started sewing them together!
Ended up with this little cutie~
And then finally after about two hours after getting ready to throw these valuable pieces of fabric away, just in time for bed mind you, I ended up with a cute new pincushion for my pincushion collection!!
And of course, I had to make a cute back too!!
And darn, now the straightening up will just have to wait until Monday!!
'Night all, and have a wonderful Sunday!!

Yes, it does! Just so ya know. : )
BTW, what a cute pincushion!
And there ya go - I do them all up right after they are trimmed and store them in size containers - then I have all those lovely little pieces ready for a project rather than having to cut down a large piece of fabric.
Cute as can be! A wonderful addiction!
Awesome!
I love those little corner triangles...so much fun to use for small projects. Hmmm...might be time to make another pincushion.
I force myself to throw that size away otherwise I would be buried under lots and lots of fabric. Does look good though!
