Modello di puntaspilli Four-Patch di Teresa Coates

I was skeptical about turning two squares into a curved pincushion, but this pattern's "squircle" technique worked perfectly. The biscornu-inspired design is clever without being overly complicated.

I was honestly skeptical about the whole "squircle" concept, but the instructions walk you through that clever fold so clearly that my first attempt came out perfectly symmetrical. The patchwork approach makes it feel substantial and quilted rather than flimsy like other pincushions I've tried.

The clever sewing that turns two squares into a squircle is genius—my pincushion actually looks like a little pillow, not a lumpy mess. The patchwork fabric instructions are clear enough that even I, a self-taught beginner, finished it in one afternoon.
