Yup, that name got my attention, too, when a friend asked me how to pronounce it. It turns out that it refers -- in sewing terms -- to a sort of strange-looking pin cushion! If you google the term, you'll find that the most "traditional" versions are done in counted cross stitch or similar techniques. However, it's possible to make them from patchwork squares or even plain squares.
I had a few charm squares left over from my Confetti Cupcakes table runner, so that's what I used, and I have to say that I like the result. :) I've posted photos on my blog (below), though I'm afraid the photos are a bit fuzzy. I may replace them at some point, but I have to hurry over to DD's house to help her with her computer. After that, it's back to the quilt show to help hand out everyone's treasures. :)
