This quilt was so much fun to make. But as you recall, it required a new adjective to describe it:
Piecey. As in 364 pieces, which is an awful lot of pieces for one lap size quilt.
You'll recall that I made the triangles with the 4 1/2" Accuquilt die.
Luckily, a lot of the dies are available in multiple sizes. So I bought the 6 1/2" die.
Shopped my Stash for a selection of fabrics in grass green, raspberry, a few touches of gold and brown
Drafted a pattern for a Pinwheel quilt. As you can see, I have a very high-tech approach to making quilt patterns.
Sorry for the dark picture-- I don't have a design wall, I have a design living room rug, and it was a little dark when I laid out the blocks.
But you get the idea. No sashing between the blocks, and no borders, just a collision of color. Each pinwheel block is 8 pieces, and there are 20 blocks total. 160 pieces went together a lot faster than the zig zag quilt!
My goal is to finish this in time for the next Sunday Morning Market which is a week from this Sunday. And I have a few small projects to finish for that event as well. AND I have a full week of orchestra work coming up. Well. Guess I need to get busy!
