Just further to the pincushion if anyone wants to make one (the ones in shops are so uninspiring, if functional) but doesn't want to buy a whole book for this pattern, there are also nice (free) patterns online, including the pin cushion caddy from Seams to Me which I also considered but it's more involved:
Heather Bailey's patchwork pincushion (just continue past their blandishments to the pincushion pattern on the next page along)
Another patchwork pincushion (probably the most similar to mine)
Stickin' it to the pincushion
Pin cushion caddy from Seams to Me
Wild flower pincushion
