A Finish: Scrappy Pinwheels


The scrappy pinwheel quilt is finished an installed at its destination: the lake guest bedroom.  I really enjoyed making this quilt.  And was surprised how quickly I completed it, considering I did not work on it as much each week as I would have liked.

Technically, its the best quilt I've constructed thus far.  Each block came together perfectly, with all the points matching up.  However, it's so colorful, its bland.   I learned a lot about color design and now wish I had created monochromatic blocks, instead of distributing the fabric throughout the quilt.  It feels really good that this quilt, with the exception of the back, was made entirely from scraps.

I also pieced some pillow case covers.  These were fun little projects, to try out some new blocks.



Here's my quilting buddy, Rukia.  I love this look - "do I have to get off the quilt now?"

Now onto something pink and purple for Miss L.
