It's coming along

I have pinwheel fever again.  It's coming together.  In the last couple of days, I have made 6 new blocks for my sampler top and removed two.  The two I go rid of, I made them last year when I was having pinwheel frustrations and they looked crappy and I really didn't like the pinwheel style.  I didn't want them to spoil my pretty top.  :)  And there are a couple that I liked but again, looked crappy, so I'm remaking those.

I'm thinking 11 more blocks and then I will lay it out on my bed and figure out if I need more.  I will have 24 blocks at that point and I'm going to add a border to the quilt too.  It may just be a nice Spring/Summer coverlet for my bed.  So excited!!  I wish I got this pinwheel fever last year then this project would be done by now!

Wanna see what I have done so far?  There is one pinwheel at the top that is hiding.  So far I have 13 blocks done.
not the final layout.  :)
I also went through my remaining fabrics and pulled out the ones I haven't used yet and want to use.  I hope to find some time today to cut a few more pinwheels.

Enjoy your day!
Jen
