Category: Quilting

Fabric and thread.

What was your inspiration?

This is a photo of the pinwheel quilt. I was inspired to use the pinwheel pattern to make this quilt after viewing the Quilting Quickly class. I cut out the fabric for this quilt using my die cuts and go-cutter. I pieced the quilt together using my sewing machine.
I stitched in the ditch and then finished off with free motion quilting on the sashings and borders.


* The object you can see in front of the quilt is my new friend kangaroo wearing his Christmas hat.

This is lovely. I made a pinwheel quilt a while ago for my very elderly sister-in-law, (on my projects page) but only quilted it in the ditch as I needed to finish it quickly and, in any case, hadn't taken any lessons in FMQ then. The quilt was returned to me after she passed away and you've given me the bright idea of perhaps doing some FMQ on it. Thank you!

How cute! Is that little kangaroo a pet? I think your friend approves of the pinwheels! Would love to see another photo of him.

Wow, I love this! The white makes the pin wheels pop! I am very new to quilting and think this is a pattern I would like to try.
