Here are this weeks blocks for the Pinwheel Sampler Quilt Along. Here is the Flickr link to check out lots of other pinwheel blocks.My MIL asked me to make her a little pad for her wheelchair. Of course I had to make a pinwheel or two..!
I used two layers of leftover wool batting. I started this yesterday and machine quilted it today. I was inspired by Diane Gaudynski's website and blog (thanks Gloria). Diane's work is absolutely amazing. She quilts on her home sewing machine.
This is the back. I tried some feathers and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be (only a 19" square quilt though!). Machine quilting is definitely something that I want to get better at.I saw this quilt -
on A Good Yarn, as part of a block swap. There is an amazing (new to me) way these blocks are put together, shown here.I was also watching "You've Got Mail" yesterday and Meg Ryan's character had a beautiful pinwheel quilt on her bed! Pinwheels everywhere!!
I am off to watch the Oscars now.
Have a great day! ♥
