I made this the other day out of 3"x3" Imbuya for the wife who has started quilt making I am going to try some different designs  it was good fun to make and I should imagine a good little seller what do you think

Hi

My missus has just started with quilting as well.  I think it's a great idea.  I'm guessing there is a rare earth magnet buried inside?

Cheers Dave

Hi Dave it is one of these from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330721328681?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 they ae only magnetic on one side

Until I read the e-Bay description I was confused by the Magnetic one side only idea. That did not fit with my idea of magnets.

As for the turning, I like the idea better than a pin-cushion and I see nothing wrong with that shape at all. So post more if you improve on it.

Yep, my wife sews, and does a little quilting occasionally so I guess I'd better put one on my 'to make' list.
