Pinwheel Project to start Feb 10, 2011 NEW
#1081
I'm making the patches and pinwheels from the Quiltville site, I finished up all the blocks last night, 60 pinwheels and 60 sixteen patch blocks, when I get home tonight I'll lay them out. Hopefully I'll get the top put together this weekend.

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
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....

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

Please post a close-up pic as I have no clue what a saddle stitch is and would love to see. Thanks!

I thought it would be a nice touch and I will work on it again today.
I know it's operator error!

Anyway: I found the operator error. At first when I started in the middle of the block I forgot to pull up the bobbin thread to the top so it kept tangling and breaking. :oops:
Then I would re thread the machine WRONG which didn't help. :oops:
I have it right now so I will continue with those blocks for my pinwheel quilt.
Today is day 30!
Keep working all!
:-D
