Just for the fun it, I took this failed Jane Stickle block
and made a pincushion. I had accidentally
trimmed it down before adding the applique and did not want to risk adding it only to have it distort, shrink, or fray
in the process. Fortunately it was an
easy block and I had plenty of fabric to both finish this little project and
redo the block. I’m thinking of using it
as a thank you gift to a quilting friend.
I've also started making split nine patch blocks which are
Bonnie Hunter’s 2013 leader ender challenge.
I had not planned on doing this, but sometimes I just need something to
work on that is relaxing. Jane Stickle
blocks do not qualify as relaxing!

oh I love the split 9patch-I will not check out the link to Bonnie---too dangerous I may want to start one of my own!!
What a great way to use a "failed" block... definitely turning a lemon into lemonade!
Lovely split 9patch you've got going on there... oh so tempting too!
Super idea with the pincushion. I love your new leader/ender project. The split 9 is one of my favorites, maybe because it features the values! I sound like a broken record.
Nice save of a pretty block! I have some failed blocks that could use a save too:)
Love the new leader Enders!
Great idea for using those "messed-up" Jane blocks. I certainly have a few of those, haha. Nice split 9-patch blocks too.
