Hi Everyone,

I recently ordered Anita Grossman Solomon's book "Rotary Cutting Revolution" after reading about it and her quilts in a previous issue of Quiltmaker magazine.

I'm having SO much fun with her "No Waste Windmill" pattern! Cutting out 56 blocks 8 at a time was a breeze; only two cuts per stack! :thumbup: It took me longer to settle on a pattern for all these Windmill blocks, lol.

Piecing is a breeze, too. No hassle, practically no pinning, just have to watch my patch orientation. It's going pretty quickly, too. I have two rows completely done and working on a third.

I'm also very pleased with these batiks from connectingthreads.com. They washed up super nice and are a joy to work with. Again, no hassles there, either. Wow. How fun to finally work on a project with no headaches!

This quilt is going to be for our 8th grandchild. When our DIL was talking about how active this little guy is in her tummy, I got the inspiration for this windmill pattern. Thanks, Anita! :thumbup:

Looking good, great color combo!

Just love those fabrics..nice job

beautiful!!!

Your quilts going to be very nice!!

Looks great. Love the colors.

Great job! and great colors.

Thanks, everyone. I'm having so much fun with this. To think I originally bought the fabs for a "Margo Bag", lol. Oh well, babies take precedence over bags, right? :lol:

Anita Soloman Grossman is a terrific woman, she has the best ideas for time saving when quilting. Your quilt is so lovely, I may have to buy her book-great colors...much better than a bag!

I've got this book too. It's loads of fun, my favorite is the arrowhead block,(I think that's what it was called) It was the one featured in the magazine.
