QAYG Pincushion

beginner

The Quilt-As-You-Go Pincushion Party pattern is all about small-scale creativity and colorful scrap sewing. These adorable pincushions are the perfect way to use up leftover fabric strips while learning the quilt-as-you-go method — a technique that lets you piece and quilt all at once.

Each pincushion finishes at a charming, practical size for your sewing table and makes a thoughtful handmade gift for quilting friends. The pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions, video support, and multiple size options so you can create one (or a whole basketful) with ease.

This is a beginner-friendly project that focuses on texture, improvisation, and fun. It’s also a great way to experiment with color combinations or practice free-motion quilting on a small project before committing to a larger quilt.
