I am making two quilts with 30's repro fabrics. One is a double pinwheel, using Eleanor Burns book

and because I knew I would have scraps, I decided to do churn dash with the leftovers. I plan on making each block a different fabric.

This is absolutely one of my favorite's, I have pieced two (english paper piecing method) you should give it a try, very portable too. I also have hand quilted two for a friend and one of my own the other is a UFO.

That was fun - I never would have thought of looking for inspiration that way. Thanks.
