I started on this quilt when I got back from the GSQA POE event. Then after making the pinwheel blocks I realized there wasn’t enough contrast. As this quilt was made to showcase the border fabric I didn’t want the lack of contrast in the pinwheels to distract. I’m not certain that the Red Grunge isn’t taking center stage but I was short on time to find anything else.
The green backing was picked to go with the original fabric choices. I was able to finish and deliver it Friday evening.
- Pattern: Pinwheel Party from Quick As A Wink 3-Yard Quilts
- Size: 43″ x 61″
- Thread: 40 wt Glide in Mercury – 1 bobbin
- Quilting Design: Groundcover enlarged to 18″ with -3.5 row gap.
Saturday I loaded this customer quilt and was reminded that my machine really doesn’t like Omni thread. I asked my customer if I could switch the thread to Glide and she said I could. I then knocked the quilt out in no time.
While it was stitching, I made this pillowcase to replace the one I made 10 years ago.
