New start into 2016
 

Well, this a been a slow start this year but the project "book" is full for the months to come :)
Up to now I've only made a couple of boxes for friends for presents.
Then I've finally finished a lap quilt that was laying dormant and half finished in my cupboard..... The pinwheel blocks were part of a huge bag full of different blocks in size, shapes and colors that was given to me about 5 years ago. Some blocks I had already used for other projects and now I'm slowly getting on the bottom of this :thumbup:
I had to add the flying geese at the back as the fabric I wanted to use just wasn't wide enough ;)
Thanks for looking!!!

congrats on the great start... they look good

I really like your boxes! You did a nice job on them. And I always admire a pieced backing.

Very good start for 2016

everything came out great. love the boxes

Great start for the year.

You are off to a flying start. Nice work.

Very pretty.

Your start to 2016 looks much better than mine! :)

I love the rick rack on your quilt, at the top and bottom. I must do that one day.

Because of the way I had to lay out the squares, the quilt turned out wider than longer and so I added a larger border to even it out. Then those 2 borders looked so very plain so adding the rick rack just gives it some "umpf".... :)

you off to a great start

You have really been busy. I love fabric boxes

The boxes are so cute. what a cool quilt too. Aren't pinwheels great?

Good start for 2016! You've been busy! Love your quilted box.....they're on my "to-do" list. Better get going so I can feel accomplished in 2016 too! Thanks for sharing!

Looks like you are off to a great start for 2016. I really like the baby pinwheel quilt and the fabric boxes need to be added to my Roundtoit List. Nice work.

Great start to the year. Nice quilts and boxes are darling.

Love your projects. I made one of the boxes a long time ago. Is there any kind of tutorial or chart that lets you know how big of a square or rectangle as well as how much to trim to make different size and depth boxes? I would like to make some for Christmas presents to hold Christmas cards received. Thanks,

They all look super. Great start to the new year. BrendaK

Great projects.

wow it looks great!!!!!

Nice 2016 starts.

Nice projects.

I think your start is great!!! That's quite a bit. Looks great!!

Sandra, if you have some spare time just try a few different sizes, you can always use them as presents. My rule is I cut the squares 12 1/2" and the sides either 2" or 2 1/2" - the 2" gives you a box with lover borders and a little wider where with the 2 1/2" the borders are higher and the box is smaller. I was given one to me which was made with a 15 1/2" and I think she said she cut it at 2 1/2" and it turned out quite large.
Good luck!!! :)

Great boxes! Good and easy pattern.....will be appreciated by recipients!

you would never know that you put the flying geese there because you had to. looks like you designed it that way
