Default Bright pinwheels for great niece

My DH has a nephew (& wife) who recently had their second baby, Ava. Truthfully, I have never even met the mom or either of the kids, but my DH's sister, the new grandma, is my favorite of his siblings. So, I decided I wanted to make the new baby a quilt. It's totally scrappy, except for the white tone on tone. I followed the tutorial on MSQC. It was so easy and a lot of fun. I could see myself making a fullsize pinwheel at some point in the future.

I love it! Great colors - so bright and cheery and perfect for a baby. They say that black & white graphics are what newborns see at first before their eyes develop to see color, so your combination is absolutely perfect. Thanks so much also for the note about the MSQC video.

What a sweet baby quilt. I love the pinwheels. I think Ava and her parents will definitely enjoy it! Nice work.

It's great. You and I have the same taste in fabrics. I recognize many of your scraps.
