mi30kaja gave a link to a 15-sided biscornu. I just had to try it out. I digitised only one square, not 15, and stitched them out on remnants of yellow linen. Stitching took 3 minutes each. I could not stop myself finishing it, so here's a picture of the finished thing. To get nice corners I stuffed it so hard I had the greatest problem to get a needle through the middle to sew the buttons on.

Lovely ! These are addictive, I know.

Beautiful work.

Martine, this turned out lovely. Well done - hugs Yvonne

I would say that the result is good ......... is beautiful!!!

Looks great Mops.

Thank you. It took me longer to sew the squares together than digitising the design and stitching it.

Martine, you are amazing. On that same page there was another with I think 16 sides I must find it and gine you all the link. I just love this. Can't wait to try, but when I get my machine back I will have so much to do. Hugs, Lyn (mi30kaja)

Thank you. I think I'll stick to the 2-sided ones!

I have no idea how you should arrange 16 squares and what shape that would give. Could not find anything on that site. She did make a sampler with the patterns and added 2 extra squares plus a date block.

Its beautiful-I love the color and fabric and the design is perfect. Superfast too.
Hugs

Love the yellow on yellow! It is really looking good. Those sure are tiny squares to work with. Hope you will show us the finished project.

Sewing the squares together was rather fiddly, especially the last few seams. I don't think I'll make a dozen :)

Ik weet niet wat een biscornu is misschien op z'n nl.
dan kan ik er ook over mee praten.
Wens je veel plezier bij je dochter.

Biscornu is een Franse naam voor een speldenkussen (of een lavendelzakje) dat bestaat iut twee vierkanten die verdraaid aan elkaar zijn genaaid: de punten van het ene vierkant aan de middens van de zijden van de anderen. Er heeben een heleboel van die dingen hier in Projects gestaan en ik heb een paar patronen ervoor op de site gezet, o.a. http://youembroidery.com/19432_fu... en http://designsbycuties.cuteembroi...
