After doing the Texas tumbleweed I will have lots of these. Thanks for the idea of what to do with them.
|
Absolutely love it!
|
So cheerful! Sometimes simple is the best.
|
Love your idea about using pinwheels for scrappy quilt.
|
Great quilt...I am a pinwheel addict.
|
It's really cute?l
|
Very pretty! I just can't get into doing the leaders and enders.
|
Very pretty! I love the simplicity of it and love it even more because it's scrappy.
|
Nice quilt.
|
Thanks for all the kind words! Glad y'all like it and I think the young couple will like it too. The bride is moving from Texas to Tennessee so it will be used, I'm sure. :)
|
What a fun way to use scraps. Love it.
|
Very eye catching! Looks like a happy quilt to me.
|
What a neat idea. I noticed you used what looks like a white or a muslim with all the pinwheels. That is a unifying way to tie together all the different scrappy fabrics. And I love the way you set the blocks. Looks very vintage. Thanks for sharing.

Love it!!!!
|
WOW!! It is adorable!! (Trying to type over my big boy Buddy!!) Love to use up those stash/es......
|
I love the way you put the pinwheels together as a 9 patch. Scrappy quilts have become one of my favorites to make. I no longer fuss over 'wasted' fabric.... it just gives me more scrappy quilts!
|
I love pin wheels. They just seem so happy!
|
Great idea! Ok, so each pinwheel us made up of 4 HST of same color...getting 2 out of 1 of color +white bkgrd square measuring at ??....thus needing to make 2 squares of same color combo for each pinwheel? OR am I overthinking this whole thing.....time for me to set up a new L & E basket...this might be it........

Yes, Geri B, two squares of each color makes one pinwheel block. My squares are 2 3/8" but I think 2.5" might be just as well because my pinwheels are usually a tad under 3". I began doing pinwheels years ago as leaders and enders because I love pinwheels but just making a 3" pinwheel quilt is a scary thought. This one is my fourth or fifth top and only third quilted one. I already have 12 nine patches completed and this time I have a 12 x 12 layout planned with no sashings, just pinwheels. 144 nine patches. I would never do that unless as a leader and ender. my background fabrics are anything light but predominately white. I like the clear difference in the two fabrics. But really it's all about scraps! :) |

This is the previous top, given to a lady who is to complete several tops and give them to young families she knows at her church. To my knowledge it's not quilted yet. :) Yes, I love pinwheels. |
What a great scrappy quilt......and to think, many people throw scraps away. The new bride will love it!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]522728[/ATTACH] In the spirit of the scrappy, I used scraps for the back as well. [ATTACH=CONFIG]522729[/ATTACH] It's hand quilted and is to be given next week as a wedding gift to a young lady who has made quilts for others. |
Very nice scrappy quilt.
|
Love the look of that...Good job...
|
I really like your pinwheels! Great idea for leaders and lenders.
|
Beautiful.. love scrappy!
|
