Fussy Cut Pin Cushion?
In the last few days, I saw a picture of a pin cushion (pincushion?) that the maker had made using 6 wedges fussy cut with a 60 degree ruler. I recognized the fabric as being part of the Double Chocolat line by Moda.
I've got scraps from Easy Street in that fabric, and would like to make a pin cushion similar to the one that was posted; of course, now I can't find it, in spite of repeated searches using every word I can think of.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Oops - I missed the answers that were given, I'm sorry about that.
Yes, PaperPrincess, that's the one! Still love it. I've already made one, using what I could remember, before I saw your reply. :\ I like the OP's better, but mine is pretty, too. Stuffed mine w/ crushed walnut shells and used a tip I saw someplace online on leaving the opening for filling: When stitching fabrics right sides together, start at the EDGE of the fabric, stitch in 1/4", continue around, leaving opening of desired size, and stitch 1/4" back to edge. Having those little stitch lines on either end of the opening, from the seam to the edge, made turning the opening in and sewing it shut much easier and neater.
