I can only imagine how exciting it is,
waiting for new grandbabies to arrive!

it would definitely weigh in at over 10 lbs.
The finished size is 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 1 1/2" or so.
I love bigger pincushions, myself.
They don't get lost as easily amid my sewing stuff.
There are lots of pieces to the granny star block,
and those star points are pretty tiny.
You'll have to pop on over to the free tutorial,
where you will find a method to create
near-perfect star points...so easily!
I hope you'll be inspired to try out one or more
of my Granny Star methods...
This is just absolutely brilliant, Amy. Cute as a pincushion, but just as perfect in any size!! I'll have to try some soon...
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest little grandbaby I have seen - to date! It is exciting waiting for a new arrival but also frustrating if they turn up late.
ReplyDeleteJust read your wonderful tutorial at Bear Creek. It's so clever how you folded your star points Amy! I really love this pincushion! And the larger size is a good thing, I agree!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous pincushion! The center star really pops in these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI like bigger pincushions, too. I am going over to Bear Creek Quilting now for the tutorial!!

I am rather fond of collecting and making pincushions. My fav one is a large round hexi one I found in an Op Shop. Larger ones are better for general use. Love yours.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutes thing. The star looks like it's 3D how cool!! Great color choices and of course perfect corners. Amy you are so precise! Love it!
