Scrappy Pinwheel Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
Attached is my first attempt at posting a picture, so please bear with me.

I've been trying to use my gray-blue fabric stash for some time and this the the fifth quilt in the series (which didn't even seem to make a dent in my scrap bin!) Last year after a fabric swap with friends, I cut all my blue scraps into strips and squares, but even after 5 quilts it appears that there is no ends to my "blues"! The idea for this quilt was based on a quilt hanging in a coffee shop while we were traveling last summer. Although the quilt I saw was a fraction of this one's size, I thought this might be a good way to use up my scraps.

Anyway, here is the latest edition...I hope to use it for a church auction in March.

Thanks!

I know what you are talking about certain colors in your stash. But I think that your quilt is lovely and what a wonderful way to pay it forward.

Love scrappy anytime & this one is sooooo pretty. Nice job using those scraps. It should sell easily.

I don't even like blue, but this is darling.

QuiltE 01-28-2012 08:15 AM

What a nice scrappy .... I particularly like how you have framed up the pinwheels for a bit more focus to them.

bubble951 01-28-2012 08:30 AM

This is beautiful! Can't believe it is scraps!

bubble951 01-28-2012 08:33 AM

Do you have a pattern for this or is it your own?

How pretty! I just love blue! :)

irishrose 01-28-2012 10:20 AM

Blue lovers will love this one. It's very pretty. I like your choice of blocks to put together. If I get tired making pinwheels, that's a great solution.

MOBRIDGE MOM 01-28-2012 10:51 AM

I love this and it's already saved to my threads!!!!

blueangel 01-28-2012 11:25 AM

Very pretty.

Love it! Blue and white is always so pretty together.

serenitybygrace 01-28-2012 11:40 AM

WOW! It is amazing that you have had that much fabric in the same colors. You did a great job on this quilt. My grandmother used to use patterns and use scraps. I think that takes great creativity and talent.

aorlflood 01-28-2012 11:53 AM

I really like it! :)

collady 01-28-2012 11:58 AM

I love pinwheels and blue! So I really love your blue pinwheels!

I made a quilt with this pattern. My pattern shows 3 rows of strips around the outside. I used bland fabrics in blues, greens. peach, and ivory--for the strip blocks and I used white around the pinwheels. I quilted it with a meander so it looks very old fashuioned with the bland fabric colors. I really like it and it was a fun, simple quilt to make. The pattern is in a book called "Scrap Basket Surprises" by Kim Brackett.

Love the blues, my favorite.

Maria C 01-28-2012 01:16 PM

Very nice. You can never have too much blue can you?

Scraps 01-28-2012 03:06 PM

Very nice indeed!!

Tweety2911 01-28-2012 03:21 PM

Beautiful quilt. Blue and white always looks so crisp and clean and a soothing combination.

Nettie Phillips 01-28-2012 04:27 PM
