Quilters Tranform “Inchies” into Decorative Pins
Previously I wrote about “inchies” in the post, Discovering “Inchies” in the Quilting World. These are the little one inch embellished squares (or slightly larger for “plus size inchies”) that quilters have discovered and are trading, using as decorations, and purely having fun making.
My daughter decided they are the right size for pins so converted two into something to wear by attaching a pin back. She also used as embellishments beads she had created from fabric.
Why don’t you give “inchies” a try!
(These “inchie” pins appear on Meandering Threads.)

This is a terrific idea for the “Inchies”! I love the idea of making pins out them.

Thanks for visiting Quilting and Patchwork, Angel. Yes, isn’t the idea of “inchies” pins fascinating? If you make some, I’d enjoy seeing a photo of them.
