Love the pink and black!
|
I'm working on mine. Since I'm using scraps, I've pieced some into 1/2 sq triangles and pressed, Then I do a batch into pinwheels. So far many different sizes. This has given me motivation.

Its kinda weird but why is it the last few pinwheels that I need to do is the best ones and that I have had no problems with. Maybe its because I am almost finished with my pinwheels and the more you do the easier they get. O! Well the next time I get ready to do pinwheel quilt or etc., I should be better at it.

All four of them will be used in a block for a "healing quilt" for a QB spouse. Special thanks to 'screwystewy' for pulling it all together. Happy quilting everyone!!!! ;-) :thumbup: |
I have about 15 done and I've found that if I lay the cut pieces on top of the sewn pinwheels in the right position and then carry them to the machine that way I am less likely to get them out of order and if I do I'm more likely to be able to catch it and correct it.

I now have what I need to start a pinwheel quilt for my youngest grandson. I am also continueing to make pinwheels out of the charms I have and will try to post pictures later.
|
I have done 21 blocks from my Moda Happy camping charms. Really like them and enjoying seeing how each one turns out!
|
I never knew that making pinwheels would be so much fun but its easy and fun to do..I am almost done with my "top" of the quilt and looking forward to doing more pinwheels :)
|
I have 16 pinwheels done now. I'm really using scraps given to me and using white & or pale blue or tan shirting for the 'off' color. The part about pinwheels I hate is - preparing the fabric! It takes more time ironing & cutting than it does sewing. Thought I NEVER would be doing this but - now here I am and having fun. Pix later.

Thanks for getting me motivated again. :thumbup: |
