Very nice! The kid will love it. Don't forget to come back and post to help me offer encouragement to all the others.

I got rained out of golf today so I finished my pinwheels!
I ended up only needing 25 since they are 9" finished. I made 4 this morning to take the place of the pink and purples I took out!
I'm taking white on white squares and sewing with a saddle stitch an outline of a 5" star using the pinwheel colors in each square to put between my pinwheels.
That's the final plan subject to change of course.

:-D
Oh you poor thing.... missing golf. I was taking Heidi to the vet for her yearly checkup in monsoon rains. But good news, she is very healthy for her 8+ years on this wonderful earth. And she only gained 1/2 pound in a year. I thought she had gained more; I apologized to her for that. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Anyway I will probably do some more pinwheels with scraps. I got a pack of 90 charm squares that are all neutrals that I may combine with something. I want to see more pics....
We're about 12" short of rainfall so I was glad to see the rain.
I had a two day golf tournament for tomorrow and Sat but I canceled since a cold front is coming though tonight. It will only be about 48 in the morning and only 68 in the afternoon! :-D
Yes, I am spoiled with Florida weather. I love it hot and even play all summer in the heat of the day!
I don't know if Heidi is a dog or cat but I'm glad she's healthy.
I have a wonderful dog I got at a shelter a couple of years ago and my mother's cat.
I was the only one that would take the cat when mom died. She's about 15 I think and showing her age now. I'm not much of a cat person but couldn't get rid of her.

My big idea of the stars in the blocks hasn't worked out yet. The thread keeps breaking and I haven't figured out why yet. I'll keep working on it or come up with a plan B.
I could applique them on but I wanted just an outline. Maybe another stitch would be better.

Today is day 29!

Keep it up everyone!
:-D
Pennsylvania can send you some of our rain. I have a lake in my front yard this morning. I don't know how much we got yesterday, but it had to be at least 2 or 3 inches. By the way, Heidi is a Great Dane. Life expectancy is usually 8 years, but the vet says we should be able to get many more years from her. She is a wonderful wonderful rescue dog. She was in a puppy mill making puppies as fast as she could spit them out. That is why we are so thrilled that she is so healthy; they tend to have many health issues when overbred like that. Anyhow, good luck with your blocks, I know you will figure it out. Remember, don't overthink it; that's when we get ourselves in trouble.
