Pinwheels Resurrected

Like a lot of quilters out there, I have projects started and not finished.  Too many that I care to admit.  One of them is the pinwheel sampler that I started last year in a quilt along.  I had wanted to make it large enough for my bed and got discouraged.  I put the whole thing away and haven't really thought about it.

It's been gnawing at me lately because I really want to get this finished because I love the fabrics I'm using.  So I pulled it out yesterday morning.  I told myself that I'm going to make all the pinwheels I can with all the fabrics that I have set aside for the project and that's that.  If it fits my bed, great.  If not, I'll use it elsewhere. 

Here are the two blocks that I worked on.

turn your head.  Darn blogger!
I have a few more pinwheel blocks that I've decided I would like in my sampler so I'm going to work on getting the fabric cut for them.  When I get the itch, I'll get them pieced.  My goal is to have this top complete by the end of the year.  I think I can handle that.  :)

Enjoy your day!

  1. sometimes it is hard to keep at it making a quilt large enough for a bed. I have made a lot of them though queen size and I'm always glad I did it when I get finished with them.
    Keep at it and you can do it.
