Welcome to Day 1 of the "Give it a Whirl Blog Hop" hosted by the lovely Carol from Just Let Me Quilt!
Our Challenge:
Somewhere in or on your project you must include a "whirl".
This can be a pinwheel, Dresden, or anything that looks like it's spinning.
Maybe a merry-go-round or Ferris wheel in the fabric?
Well, I don't know about merry-go-rounds or Ferris wheels - they make me motion sick... but I do love pinwheels!!! So here is my project for this hop....
I had lots of fun designing this quilt and one day I will write up the pattern for it, but for now I've just got photos!
I stopped by a park after work one day to take some pics... it was quite windy and I forgot to bring clothes pegs or anything to anchor it down... so I don't quite have a photo of the full quilt.. this is as close as I got:
The pinwheel blocks are paired with pintuck blocks... The quilting was in the ditch around the blocks and then some pretty feathers on the borders:
The pinwheels, as you can see, are 3D - a fun technique!
Thanks, Carol for hosting this month's hop!
