Love Pincushions

Sewing away at my block swaps a few nights ago I keep poking in the pins into a lovely pin cushion I received in a swap last year.  The pattern was a log cabin and I thought I will make one myself and put it away for a gift.
The one I made was a little bit smaller and I started of with a 1 1/2inch square and then used 1 inch strips (finished 1/2" strips), and came up with this.
