It is beautiful and reminds me of reflections in water. How about "Pinwheel Reflections" or since you put your soul into making it, how about "Reflections of my Soul?"

This is just a simple pin wheel. To get the effect of the large pin wheel all you have to do is make those few diagonal blocks with half light and half dark blocks. Just be sure your pin wheels all turn the same direction.

I had to un sew many of the blocks a second and sometimes third time to get the direction right. It was my excitement that caused this, yes it was! LOL

There are many tutorials for learning this block. A quick search will give you plenty to choose from.

Sorry for the delay in posting the name of the fabric for you.

Gypsy Song by Susan Winget for Benartex, Cotton Screen Prints, style 2166


I tried a search and my limited skill only found one place in the UK that had any for sale.

Now that I see it finished, I love that border. The little framing border is just enough that it really sets off the entire quilt. Screaming into the Wind is a perfect name for this beauty. Thank you for posting the quilt and Foxy.

Well, I would have made a huge mistake and I am so glad you didn't follow my advice. I would have selected the small flowered border and it would not have been as nearly as beautiful as this selection turned out to be. This is gorgeous!!!
