Put together this top tonight.. just need a narrow border then "piano keys" border after that and I'll have the last quilt top for 2009 done. I'm going to find a yellow that matches the bits of yellow in the print and make a narrow border, then put "piano keys" of the pink and green around it.
pictures came out just a touch pale... sorry

pink and green pinwheel top for mom

That is a beautiful quilt top. Do you mind telling where you found the pattern? Also I guess this might be a duh...question, but what is a piano key border?

well, I didn't use a pattern, just cut fabric into 6.5" squares.
put a pink and a green face to face.
draw diagonal line on the pink square top right to bottom left.
stitch a seam 1/4" on either side of the line.. cut on the line between the seams. press blocks open, then arrange 4 of them into a pinwheel.. that's it!
If that doesn't make sense PM me and I'll help you.
a piano key border is a border of strips very plain, mine will be 6.5" long strips, 2.5" wide but alternate the colors.. sort of like the keys on a piano.

That was quick! Should also be very pretty with piano keys.
