You can see the results of that challenge here.
At one of our meetings I lent the ladies a set of CD's I had that related to crazy quilting and promptly forgot about them.
I went to the letter box the other day and was surprised to find a package from one of these ladies.
The forgotten CD's were being returned but along with them this most beautifully executed
pin holder, crazy quilt style.
It measures 2.75 inches or 7cm across - I am in awe as I gaze at it.
What a lovely inspirational treasure for me to have, to hold and to use - thank you Rayna.

Absolutely the most precious pin holder I have laid my eyes on!..what a nice surprise, I love surprises especially like this one..xoxo Marissa
Ps..I sent you an email...oh, I hope I did it right..
I made a pin holder in that shape in school in the 6th grade. You can tell how long ago that was simply because they taught hand sewing to the girls in school back then. I've never seen anything as pretty as the pin holders you showed on the blog, however. Just gorgeous!
As a crazy quilt lover too, I want to say that this is a beautiful gift! I know you will cherish this for a very long time.
