a REALLY ugly pincushion...

Welp, I got most of Corrine's quilt designed and cut out.  I should be able to get the rest cut out tomorrow and many of the blocks sewn.  I am doing a zigzag quilt for her very much like the one I did for the Broadbent's Modern Quilt group posted HERE.  I modified the block size and proportions and a few design flaws that I discovered in my first attempt.  I also think that I am going to attempt Crazy Mom Quilt's FMQ straight lines on this one.  Here are the pieces I cut so far.

Now for the UGLY pincushion.  I made this for the Zakka sew Along.  I may have to make another one tomorrow.  I don't like the colors and I didn't stuff it enough.  Anyhoots, here are the pics.  Sorry, they might be a bit painful... :p
The front. 
The back.
PS- I am linking this post up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict WHOOP WhOOP!!
and Crazy Mom Quilts finish it up Friday!!!

  4. I like the colors and I really don't find it ugly at all. If you want ugly, check out those I have posted about in the past couple of weeks. I would happily trade you!

  5. Mary, you are so sweet! I am sure your work is WONDERFUL! I am going to head over there now to see :)
    ps- I think some times I just work with a fabric so much that it holds no joy for me anymore and thus becomes U-G-L-Y ;D

    1. Now, I know why you think I lied. I had looked at so many blogs I got confused. Yours is much cuter than mine!
