Teeny Tiny Paper Piecing

***UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PATTERN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE***
Jeli Quilts is no longer selling her patterns and since they are not my patterns, I can't share with anyone.
***********************************************************************

Have you ever seen something online and thought, oh my.  I need to try to make that. 
 Well, that was me with this pattern I saw on Instagram.  
The pattern was by Jeli Quilts
 I bought it on Craftsy
 I saw that Jeli had shrunk her pattern to 33% and made the cutest pin cushion I had ever seen. 
 I love the ring of geese anyway. 
 So with her permission, I too shrunk her pattern and started paper piecing.  

Here is one of my quarters.  See those blue seeds in there??


Pretty small huh?


This shows all 4 quarters finished.


All sewn together.


Choosing the back of the pin cushion.


I sewed an inch of white all the way around this.
Next step was to spray baste the "top" to the batting and quilt it.  I went with straight line quilting
Now for the quilting.


You can see I have not trimmed it yet. 
 I have since trimmed it to just over 4.5" square and have sewn the back to this. 
 Now to stuff it, using crushed walnut shells and sew the opening closed. 
 Then it will be ready for our guild exchange!

Here we go.
It's all stuffed and the opening sewn shut!
I hope it's new owner will love it as much as I do!!


I learned that I loved to do teeny, tiny paper piecing. 
 I really enjoyed making this and will make more in the future. 
 I was a little imtimidated but it really was easy and I really did enjoy the process! 
 If you purchase the pattern, tell Jeli I sent you!!

Linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday too.

So cute! I love paper piecing but not sure I would have the patience to do something that small. Lovely finish!

I am going to have to make a pincushion for the A2MQG swap, so I get a chance to win this one.

Great pincushion. I never heared about crushed walnutshells for filling. Would like to hear more about.

Pinkdixie said...

I have been looking all over for this pattern with no luck. Any ideas on where I could find it? I have been making shirts with small quilted pieces added in and this pattern would be lovely.

Any idea where I could get my mitts on this pattern? I have been looking all over with no joy. I make myself OOK tops with small areas of quilting added in and this pattern would be amazing for a new one.

Marion said...

I just left a comment on pinterest and I really am in awe of your pincushion. Not sure I was born for those tiny little pieces, but I'll think about.
