Pinwheel Party is Finished

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.
