That's why I chose my Scrappy Pinwheels quilt for this month's small quilt challenge - it reminds me of gusty, windy days. Twirling, swirling pinwheel blocks made with all sorts of wonderful scraps.
You know I love Civil War era and 1800s reproduction prints and so yes, that's what I used to make mine. From some of my favorite scraps. But you can pick your own colors to make your quilt. That's the rule. Make what you love.
Have fun playing around with your scraps. Join my Facebook small quilt group and show us a picture when you're finished.
Also, I'll be posting another Mystery Quilt clue on Friday, March 3. You'll find the directions for my free Welcome Home Mystery Quilt sew along in the Files section of the Facebook group (access the files from the group home page) or in Files in the Yahoo Small Quilt group. We're making this quilt a little bit at a time and we'll finish them in August or September.
So beautiful!

ReplyDeleteLove the Civil War fabrics for the pinwheels :)
ReplyDeleteIt's windy down here in the Ozarks, too, and I've been out in it and actually thought about pinwheels spinning like crazy! I love your scrappy pinwheels quilt. I'm kind of stuck on reproduction "dark" fabrics for my current projects and am thinking today about breaking out of my mold and using some cheery, bright primary-color fabrics for the mystery sew-along. I'm behind (as usual) but think I'll go up to my sewing room RIGHT NOW and cut out a house and play catch-up. :)

Janet - I am sorry but the Blogger format does not allow me to upload a file to my blog. I cannot post it as blog text because there are too many diagrams. The groups are the only way I can do this. Perhaps you could ask a friend who has a Facebook page?
