Vintage Summertime

Pinwheels, pinwheels everywhere.  I am so tired of making pinwheels.  But I'm so happy to say that my pinwheel blocks are DONE.  Woohoo!  I made 28 blocks.  I was on a roll and ready to make 32 blocks but I ran out of my white on white fabric.  So I squeaked out 28 blocks.  My last 4 blocks don't have mates.  I had to blend them into my top.

I got three rows sashed and put together last night/this morning.  I was going to work on the 4th row but I ran out of steam.  Those little pinwheels in the sashing are a pain in the butt.  But I like the little bit they add to the top.

Of course this morning, I noticed that placed the same block design side by side.  Oh well.  I'm not fixing it.  I was tired last night and didn't notice my oops.

Vintage Summertime is the name of the quilt top that I'm kicking around.  Not sure about it.  Maybe something better will surface.

I have border fabric coming.  Should be here by tomorrow or Tuesday.  I will work on it more tonight.  Maybe.  I have those micro pinwheels to still make.  I only made 6 so far.  15 more needed.

Enjoy your day!
Jen

    It looks GREAT, Jen! I bet you're glad to have the top done - I didn't notice the tiny pinwheels in the sashing until you mentioned them. Wow - itsy bitsy!

    That is so pretty Jen. Pinwheel is my most favorite quilt block. Where do you get most of your fabrics? You always come up with the best colors/patterns.
