I received one pin in a secret sister package and I've never seen them before. I'm so excited to have a quilt pin.

My question is twofold: Does anyone collect them, and the second part is what do you do with them? Like, how would I display a pin or more if I choose to collect them.

Where would I get them?

Thanks!

This is what the pin looks like

I'd never heard of them before I got one! It's really cute! And I think I could find another collection from this.

My mom had a few and she pinned them on her quilt guild name tag. For awhile I ran a reading mentoring program at my son's school, I got a number of pins at seminars and training classes. I pinned them to the lanyard that my id tag hun from. I've also seen them pinned on a chateleine.

I don't have pins, but charms that are blocks. I got mine during the local shop hop.
