I think I have my final design in my head and just need a few more pinwheels then I hope to applique or embroider something in the white on white blocks between the pinwheels.
I'm also thinking of using the 2" of material I cut off the 10" blocks to make them 8" and sew those strips end to end to make a narrow border around the body of the quilt. I was thinking of a prairie border but that fabric is only 2" wide so that won't work. Also thinking of a piano border but I'm sure I won't have enough strips left for that so I think the multicolored border will do nicely.



:-D :-D
Well, I worked on the big pinwheel top last night. I put another narrow border around and am now making a wider border of the matching jelly roll I have; not sure if I will like it, but it is what it is. It's not for me and I know she will love it, even if I don't. It's a rainy day today so a good day to sew. I want to make some more pinwheels but the ones I tried yesterday I didn't care for. Will try some more later today.
