These whimsical patchwork pincushions are perfect for quilt lovers, and they're a great way to use up small scraps.
Tiny squares and triangles can make a variety of postage stamp sized quilt tops, while pillows, headboards, and optional dust ruffles provide the finishing touches that really make these pincushions look like little beds. You can use the ideas below, or create your own designs.
When sewing postage stamp pieces, use very scant seam allowance (about 1/8”). Start stitching slightly away from the tips of the pieces, rather than at the very edge, to keep the fabric from getting pulled into the feed dogs. Avoid reverse stitching.
