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
|
Love it. BrendaK
|
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.
|
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.
|
Very nice looking block.
|
I like the way it looks.

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.
|
Beautiful I think it would make a great quilt.
|
great idea to square it up. You have so many more placement options now.
|
Looks very intricate!
|
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.
|
I saw the quilt on Jenny's site and I loved it. Your block looks great.
|
Oh, I like it a lot. I hope it gets to go into something.
|
Reminds me of a butterfly
|
Great looking block. I really like this one.
|

|

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
|
This is on my bucket list. Very pretty.
|
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.
|
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
|
Thanks for sharing...
