Quick project

I managed to find a space for the sewing machine amidst the great carpet-replacement-in-the-office-and-craft-room-project to whip up this Log Cabin Pincushion from Modern Log Cabin Quilting (note: link goes to the blog, which also links to the book itself).

I think if I did it again I would have a greater variety between light and dark fabric, but I really wanted to play off the "two varieties of the same fabric" theme. And now at last I have a pincushion that is larger than 1" square, thank goodness.

I'm really a fan of the book, though, so I'm going to try out some more of the projects as soon as I have room again.

Pretty! I'm fond of the color palette.
