I finished my grandson's quilt top! It's "
Pinwheel Pals" from American Patchwork and Quilting magazine (2018). I made the twin bed size.
My grandson *loves* the "Little Blue Truck" series, and the minute I saw this printed fabric Go-Go by Kate Mawdsley I had to have it.
Now I'm getting ready to quilt it and I doing it as a flimsy with "Cuddle" minky backing (primary blue).
I straight stitch with my walking foot. The patches are 8" square. I'm thinking of keeping the gaps maximum 4".
Do you think I should do diagonal diamonds? Parallel diagonal lines?
The centers of the pinwheels are a bit bulky (I learned how to spin my seams! but still...) and the seams where four patches meet are also bulky. So stitching over those multiple times might be a challenge.
What do you guys recommend?
I have to finish this in time for his birthday, LOL.
