I had a great plan for this challenge - I was going to do a quilt that would meet two challenges. Of course, I didn't have enough time in my week to really get this quilt done to the level I could call it done, I had to work and I also volunteer with homeschool kids on Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings ... so the first idea, a modern quilt with triangles is only partially done.
The top is pieced, I marked my quilting lines with the ubiquitous blue painter's tape, and started quilting.
So, at work on Saturday, I realized I had a perfect little project I could do during the evening. I made a pincushion!
I started with 4 HSTs and, since they were kind of blah, I added another triangle to each HST. I placed the HSTs in a diamond configuration and built my little pincushion around the diamond.
The pincushion is 3" square and 1 1/2" tall. It is filled with crushed walnut shells.
I made it in Muskegon, Michigan :)

The problem is, it needs detail quilting ... setting off those lovely triangles and that detail quilting takes time ... a lot of time.
