With great encouragement from Izy and Katrine I thought I would play around with some fabrics in my stash!! Hey presto!! I think I got the idea and just kept going!!!!!! I am REALLY hooked on this now!!!! Thanks Izy and Katrine!!!!! I had lots of 2 1/2" squares already cut then cut backing squares 3 1/4" (bit of trial and error!) The lavender sashings are 1 1/2" and the cream is 2 1/2". I intend to bind it in lavender. It went together so quickly!

How crisp and perfect are your pinwheels!!!
Beautiful job....I have instructions somewhere to make them ...they are in my future.
Thanks for sharing your lovely work.

Love your quilt .. 3D pinwheels are a lot of fun!!

Love the pinwheels. I have never made one, but really will soon. Love them..

Beautiful! You do excellent work! :D :D

Have a go they are such fun!!! There is a tutorial by sewMuchFabric on here. I made this top in 2 days!!

Oh, I love it! I really must try this.

Oh what fun. I can see why you are hooked

Love the quilt! I enjoy pinwheels and haven't done this 3-D pinwheel but will go to the tutorial! Can't wait to try one! Thanks for sharing...it's very lovely!

This is a fun and bright quilt.
I like your color choices.

Oh my! I'm working on a baby quilt with 3-D pinwheels! I got the idea from another quilt that was posted. All I lack is adding the borders. I used the tutorial on this site. Yours are so pretty and I love the sashing! I'll post mine when I get my borders on.

Thanks!!! I had a box of 2 1/2" squares already cut and just started folding and stitching!!!! Then found the lavender fabric in another box which sort of pulled it all together!!

So many ideas on this board!!! My 'To Do' list gets longer every day! Look forward to your pictures!!

Hilary, this quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I like how you used smaller squares to make the pinwheel so more of the background square shows :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about it...so what you gonna make next with pinwheels on????

AND...how you gonna quilt it? :roll: :lol: :D

Thanks!!!!! Watch this space!!!! You know me! Things just evolve!!!!! :roll: Might have to practice my FMQ!!!! :lol:

You just go for it!! Have you any one in mind for this quilt...btw....do you know my address???
:roll: :lol: :D

No to both !!!!!

Those are great Hil - really funky in all the different colours! Makes me want to do another one!

Great Job..really is a happy quilt!!

I really enjoy these, can remember as a kid playing with pinwheels on a stick, as did my children and now their children do too. Thanks for those memories

Do you have a youngster that will be getting this? Mine is for a new baby granddaughter that will get here the first of August!

No!!! Just wanted to 'have-a-go' when I saw the ones Izy and Katrine had done!! The group I belong to has an exhibition in September (They do it every 2 yrs) so I am hoping to display it then! I do lots of projects and give them away, then when it comes to showing them I have nothing to show!!!!!

Oh, I love your pinwheels. I think I will try one for one of my Mission of Hope quilts. Thanks for sharing.

I'd seen a tute on these - hmm ... must go back and bookmark it. Really love the look! Love the brightness of your colors!

very nice.

I wish mine would come out as nice as yours.Connie in CO

I have a question on the 3-D Pinwheels... Do they just flop over after washed.. Or stay nice as in the picture? I've been admiring them for some time. Thanks :)

Thanks k3n!! Not quite as intricate as your quilts but I had fun doing them!!

very nice-looks awesome

Looks great. It's on my to do list. (My 10 year plan) lol

Very nice!

love the quilt. the pinwheels ate great!

Very cute.

Beautiful quilt, the colors are very pretty.

lol I am too!

Hey Hilary, that's looking good! I like the bigger backgrounds, gives you more room to do some fancy fmq in! They are fun to make, I am piecing another baby one at the moment in between other things. And it's a great way to use up some small bits of fabric.

So crisp and love the colors I also love making these, they are so much fun, yours is Beautiful :D :D

I absolutely love the colors. I just am amazed at the different kinds of quilts you ladies make. I just love to look at your work.
