MSQC Disappearing Pinwheel 5
 
1 Attachment(s)
Jenny posted a new quilt using layer cake squares which are 10 inches. I did my block with 10-1/2 inch squares because I wanted the finished size to measure 12-1/2. This made my total block 12-1/2 X 13-1/2 when finished. Jenny left hers in rectangles but I trimmed to 12-1/2 square and it looks interesting but I don't know if I want to do a whole quilt. For now it's in the orphan block box nestled next to my Disappearing Hourglass trial block in the same fabrics. Maybe they will become a table runner?[ATTACH=CONFIG]526172[/ATTACH]

I sewed several blocks to try it out. My neighbor saw them on my design wall and said "those sure must have taken a lot of time to make. All those little pieces to sew to make a design." She doesn't sew at all, she scrapbooks.

Very interesting ... I like the look of that block

I saw the email sent but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Love the colors.

I watched the video yesterday, and promptly added it to my "to do" list! I think the whole quilt, in various colors, would be beautiful.

I really like your block. Love the fabric! Today, I finished making the 42 blocks for the Jenny Doan Disappearing Pinwheel # 5; but haven't started sewing them together. I left my blocks the rectangle size. The blocks were fun to make; but I am not excited about matching the seams sewing them together.

Tartan 07-26-2015 05:51 PM

Some people complain about the bias edges but they make matching the seams a breeze. Pin at the intersecting colours and you can ease in any difference with the bias. I can't wait to see it!

I happened to be browsing "pinwheels" on youtube on Friday and found that video. It looks like a lot of fun. Your fabrics are sure pretty. That lilac is so elegant.

Yes, I agree that the block is interesting.

I saw the video Saturday and Sunday I went to my "resource center" and chose layer cakes and made my pinwheel blocks. Now need to press and cut them up so I can sew them back together. I love the look of the block.

Jingle 07-27-2015 03:55 AM

Beautiful I think it would make a great quilt.

PaperPrincess 07-27-2015 04:04 AM

great idea to square it up. You have so many more placement options now.

lfstamper 07-27-2015 04:08 AM

Looks very intricate!

coopah 07-27-2015 04:41 AM

That's a beautiful block! You did an awesome job! Table runner or quilt, either...just don't let it remain an orphan! :-)

I guess I missed that video. I wil have to look it up. I made one her other disappearing pinwheel quilts and really liked it. I will have to try that one.

Wanabee Quiltin 07-27-2015 05:39 AM

I saw the quilt on Jenny's site and I loved it. Your block looks great.

Bluebonnets 07-27-2015 05:46 AM

Oh, I like it a lot. I hope it gets to go into something.

mary705 07-27-2015 06:23 AM

Reminds me of a butterfly

callen 07-27-2015 05:35 PM

annette1952 07-28-2015 02:29 AM

Yes I love that block too. I see all of Jenny's videos. She is the best. It is also on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing yours

twinkie 07-28-2015 02:29 AM

This is on my bucket list. Very pretty.

sewnsewer2 07-28-2015 03:22 AM

I LOVE this so much tat I made one & am making 2 more for my grandsons! ! I'll post the finished top later today when I get on my pc. I'm on my phone right now & don't know how to resize for posting.

solstice3 07-28-2015 04:53 AM

I think it would be unique. How about doing enough for a baby quilt?? That would give you a better idea of whether the shape works for you or not
