Update on my Daddy's turnstile pinwheel Christmas quilt WIP
After being unable to quilt for the past 2 weeks (finals are terrible, btw), I finally was able to quilt for a while today and got a few things accomplished. It's starting to come together. As to if it will make it by Christmas, that's up for debate!
I'm doing this quilt as you go, so I was able to do red and green backing flannel, I plan on my quilt being 3 of these big blocks by 3 of these big blocks (with the middle big block being a large Carpenter's Star), with a top and bottom border to make it a rectangle. 3 of these blocks wide gives me the final dimensions around 84" x (84" + borders).
