Wow, kensington - you are fast! How do you sew so fast - I usually spend a couple of days on each block (not whole days - cut on one day, sew on another day). Your blocks are just darling. Can't wait to see the whole quilt.

I'm having a hard time finding the pinwheel I want for June... it's the Flying Kite Pinwheel. Eleanor Burns has it on her site, but she makes them in rows of the same fabric, I want to use 8 different fabrics.. I think I have converted it... we shall see. That August block took me a bit longer as I was learning to use my new "Wonder Cut Ruler". LOL.

Okay... here is my June block. I chose this one because June is special to me, my moms birthday is in June. And the pinwheel reminds me of my childhood when we had then and would hold them in the wind. I used repro fabrics, I have stash of scraps from a quilt I made, and I am very happy with my June Block. It really took no time at all.

Kensington, I just love your pinwheel block! Did you use your Wonder Cut ruler to make it? I don't have one of those yet, but I do have the Companion Ruler. I wonder if that would do the same thing? I've got lots of 5" squares cut (worked on them today), so maybe I'll be doing pinwheels soon.

Yes, I did use the Wonder cut. It was so easy to do. I don't know what the Companion is, I'll have to look that up. I used Eleanor Burns intructions but had to adapt them as she made hers in strips and I was making mine in 8 different fabrics. Still, it was very easy to do. It's one of my favorite blocks in my BOM so far.

Kennsington...............Wow, I love your June block. This pinwheel pattern is a good one & your choices of fabric's just make it look really nice. My Mom's birthday is in June too, what a small world, huh? Thank you for sharing with all of us today.

Tweety...........Your September Maple Leaf block is wonderful!! :D I really like the green batik fabric you used for the leaf itself. It will go very nicely with the rest of your Calendar theme blocks for 2012. Thank you too for sharing with all of us today on the Quilting Board.,
:D :D :D :D
