Spins & Dots: Queen Pinwheel quilt for 13 year old granddaughter
 

My granddaughter has always been an artistic, adventurous child. I hope she likes the mix of fabrics in my version (I'm not sure about one of them myself). I do know that she likes purple.

Quilted E2E with Glide on my Tiara.

I really like both of the quilts. Your colors are some of my faves. From what I see, that was a lot of partial seams. I prefer those to Y seams any day. I know your granddaughter will love it.

if she likes purple, she will love this quilt!! I do!! great quilt!

You did a great job. The purple fabrics are pretty! I'm sure she will love it.
I made that pattern about 7 years ago with geometric and plaid fabrics.

I like both of them - I am fond of purple with almost any color!

It can be done with no partial seams - but a design wall would be absolutely essential.

I printed out the pic of the first quilt and played with it a bit. I came up with the same construction as bear. And the conclusion that it would take a lot of planning to get it right

I love pinwheels and the colors you used are wonderful. Sweet quilt.

Maybe this drawing might be a little bit more helpful.

Or one can set them crosswise. Same set-up.

Very nice! Great grandkid quilt.

great colors, nicely done

Very interesting pattern. I love it and so will your granddaughter!

That is a stunning quilt! Your granddaughter will be thrilled!

Love it! Beautiful !

I love it! What a pretty pattern and fabrics. Beautiful colors. I think any 13 year old girl would be very excited to receive it.

Bear, that's exactly the way I did it. This was my working diagram.

Not my favorite way to construct pinwheels!

What a beautiful quilt! Perfect for a teen. She's sure to love it.

When I was first trying to figure it out, I had a lot of "dead ends".

This quilt is very pretty and the colors do all play nicely together. Your Granddaughter will surely love it so very much.

Very pretty quilts and backing is beautiful. I like most all colors.

Your pattern and colors are awesome. If your granddaughter doesn't like it you can send it my way. My daughter, wife and I all love purple/green combo. I also love your backing fabric. That looks like a Stonehenge fabric.

really really lovely!!

Beautiful. BrendaK

You don't say which fabric you're not sure of but I think they all work really well together. The quilt is really pretty and I'm sure your granddaughter will love it.

Gorgeous quilt! I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t love it!

Beautifully done! Lovely fabrics and wonderful quilting...she’s sure to love it.

I love it and so will your granddaughter!

Great quilt-partial seams and all.

I like your quilt and the backing fabric is perfect for it. Very nice.

She will love it! Thanks for sharing.. Karen

Oh so pretty! IMHO you can never go wrong with pinwheels. I like this pattern too. I haven't seen it before. Did you make it up? I'd love to have it or know what size you cut the HST ,bricks etc

It's fantastic.
When you say you did it E to E on your Tiara, did you have a quilting pattern drawn on and followed it or just did it freehand?

It's fabulous!! Love the color and the pattern! I'm sure she will love it too!

wesing, yes, the backing is Stonehenge.

toogie, it's a copy of a pattern's picture that was posted on the Board in 2013. The HSTs are 3" finished, and everything else is multiples of 3".

Watson, oh, I couldn't possibly do it freehand! I traced the pattern on Golden Threads paper and quilted over that. Time-consuming, but the only way I know how to do it.

Great quilt! So well done. I'm in awe of your binding!!

It is pleasing to look at. I do really like it, especially the colors.

I'm sure she will love it, I know my 13 yr granddaughter would...…..

oh gosh, somany points, and they are perfect

That is the perfect quilt for a 13 year old. Beautiful colors, fun pattern; I love everything about it. I'm sure she will too:)
