Well cleaning and decluttering my house has taken me away from making things. Oh and children. Yes, they do take up most of my time too. Mustn’t forget them. Anyway, I can’t get anyone in to do quotes for my kitchen until my junk craft room is sorted. So I’ve made that a bit of a priority BUT somehow I have managed to do a few more pinwheels.
And learnt an important lesson. You need to make sure that they all look alike. Derrrrr. Unfortunately I learnt this the hard way. After I’d made a few that didn’t match the rest of my pinwheels once I’d laid them out on the floor. But I still love them and will use the dud ones on some cushions for beds I think.
And so far this one below is my new favourite, so simple but so cute. Don’t be afraid of the pinwheels, people. They are easy. So long as you have accurate 1/4 inch seams and keep pressing as you go, you will get lovely results too. You will note that mine aren’t all perfect and haven’t all been ironed.
But I’m concentrating and taking my time with each one and thank goodness I’m doing a baby quilt. And I actually found this cute tutorial on Moda Bakeshop and love the cute little ‘flags’ that pop out of the quilt. I might just try this. I’ve also found a few amazing pinwheel quilts on my one of my latest timewasters……..pinterest! When I have a baby on my lap late at night I love searching through the images.
Your pinwheel blocks are lovely!
Just lovely Corrie!
I am doing pinwheels too – I managed to get my hands on a charm pack of Kate Spain’s new fabric Terrain and I am using the MSQ tutorial too!
So neat and clean looking too!!!
They look great!
Your pinwheeel blocks are looking great. Can’t wait to see when it’s finished.
I love those little flags on quilts, thanks for the link! And pinterest is lovely too.
Cute, I have 2 little HST quilt tops on my blog, one is a pinwheel. I think there the in thing.
I too love pinwheels even though I have to cut it to square it up. Other than that, its a perfect block by itself.
Beautiful. I love the fabrics you are using.
