    Default Twisted Pinwheels UFO

    I started the quilting on this quilt over two years ago. I don't usually let a quilt become a UFO, but this one got away from me. Here is a question that I posted about the batting:

    I finally got it finished last night. I had cut up over 100 squares of the striped fabric and decided not to use it on the quilt that I had intended. I've used the striped fabric in several quilts now trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I'm going to use this quilt as my bedspread.

    Great finish on the pinwheels, and especially love the offset stars in the outer border! Fabulous quilt.

    Very pretty! If you decide you don't like it, I'll take it.

    The striped fabric cut and turned was a brilliant way to use all those squares you cut, and adds a great interest to the quilt. Much better than if you did the straight lines border. I also like how you offset the stars.
