This is the first quilt I've ever made. It's far from perfect, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it so far. The blocks are done, but I haven't attached them to each other yet. Then there will be a border. Then... the joy of actually quilting it, which is really exciting to me!

Pinwheels are my fav!!!!!!!!!

Just don't look too closely. You'll see that a fair number of triangles don't end in sharp points. And I accidentally cut about 300 extra half-square triangles. LOL I can't BELIEVE how many extras I have. Enough to make a baby quilt, at least. Craziness!

jackied 05-23-2011 12:00 PM

I sure like this pattern. Simple but looks complicated!

Jim 05-23-2011 12:01 PM

Nice Job a pretty quilt for sure

The pattern is going to be a giveaway on my boss's website this summer. Am I allowed to post the link? I don't want to get tagged as a spammer.

Well you could use them for a border, add a narrow strip of contrasting fabric to separate...it will look amazing!

All of my quilts 'evolve' ...you have to let them talk to you, they will tell you how they want to be if you listen

:thumbup: :roll: :lol:

I really like this idea. And since I'd be doing a contrasting border between the blocks and the triangle border, I could make the contrasting border exactly the right length for the math to work.
