Pinwheel Practice

Two posts in one day. I just have so much to say! I decided that my next quilt for ME ME ME is going to be in pinwheels. Why? I have no idea. I just want to make them. When I first started quilting, I decided that I was going to stick with mostly rectangles and squares. Easy to cut and sew. I really don't like the whole Double Wedding Ring look or stars or what have you. Just a simple block is more my style. But I'm going to venture out of my comfort zone and do pinwheels for myself. And I think I'll make a pinwheel lap quilt for Amelia out of Oh-Cherry-Oh! charms.

I'm a person who will jump right in and get started on a project but I convinced myself that I should probably research and practice since I'm not one to practice. Who needs to practice?? So here are my two practice blocks.

I don't think I did half bad actually. Now I'm ready to get started on my quilt. It's going to be made from this:

LOVE IT! And I don't care that it's really girly and my husband will have to sleep under it. He'll just have to deal with. I'm throwing some Oh-Cherry-Oh! charms in it too because I just want to. I think both Darla and O-C-O go very nicely together. I have to get some solid Kona cotton for my pinwheels. I thinking a soft white, almost cream then I can get started!

That's it for today. More tomorrow.
