Pinwheels in the House Quilt »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Children

Style: Retro / Vintage, Whimsical


Materials

1 charm pack 1 honey bun 4 jelly roll strips 1 1/4 yard for backing 1/2 yard for binding

What was your inspiration?

I was looking for a pattern both whimsical and cute for my best friend's baby.

What are you most proud of?

I completed this within six months and entered it for a quilt challenge in Singapore - this is the very first quilt show I've participated!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have a very clear idea how u want the quilt to turn out and choose the correct fabrics and colours. You should put in good effort to mix and match strips for the log cabins, so the pinwheels will stand out.

Your quilt is beautiful and your directions are easy to understand. Whoever came up with the concept of jelly rolls and charm packs...well, pure genius. They are so fun to work with. Until I read your Materials list, I never heard of a 'honey bun'...thank you. :)
