She's done! My first pinwheel quilt is finished. I honestly never intended to make this quilt. You will notice it is not on my Finish Along to-do list (sadly). This quilt came into being because I won a bit of fabric and found a tutorial I wanted to try...and a little pinwheel quilt was born.
It was FREEZING while I was out taking these photos. It was so incredibly windy that I couldn't use my usual clothes line. I had to lay it out on the grass for the best chance of getting a reasonable photo. Still, it kept flipping up and fluttering into the front garden! Yikes! Sorry it's a bit fuzzy.
It was quilted with straight lines on the diagonal. You might remember the dreaded fold on the back. It's now sporting a little appliqué pinwheel that coordinates with one the front. There she is! This little pinwheel quilt will be out at the next craft fair looking for a new home. I hope she makes some family happy.
