Pins for Paulene

I took this pin cushion with me to Melbourne for a meeting of longarmers in early August. One of the ladies at the gathering spent some time to completely colour coordinate all the pins in the cushion.  Once I returned home I was extremely busy with my daughters wedding, two quilt shows and the like that it took three months before I got back into quilting and messed up the pin cushion.  
Sorry Paulene but I cannot keep it neat!
