For our baby girl, pinwheels is the theme
So far I've made about 15 of the 30 pinwheel blocks. It's taking me a while and I'm using my seam ripper LOADS!
I wanted a vintage sort of feel to her room so I'm using 30's Playtime by Chloe's Closet for Moda
Here are a few of the pinwheel blocks I've made thus far.
The design brief for my friends quilt was basically "I trust your creative instinct, do what you like" which was a bit overwhelming at first (still is actually). I don't know the friend she is giving it to, so didn't want it too be too girly (she is having a girl). I picked a kind of zig zag pattern and this is the finished quilt top.
I'm loving the colour! I've decided to do a purple back with scrappy binding.
The third project that is on the go is a cradle quilt for our baby. I'm thinking of an appliqued circle quilt using Meadow Friends by Deb Strain for Moda (Ever since I've finished Lucille's 1+2 quilt in Deb Strain fabric, I've had a bit of a crush on her fabric lines!!)
I really can't decide if I should do the circles on a white background or on a patterned background. Or if I should do whole circles or quarter circles sewn into whole circles!
Loooove the pinwheels & the zig zag quilt. I'm not a vintage/flower fan as I find it a bit busy but I looove these. Well done! I think I've just found some inspiration to give it a go (or add it to my to-do wish list at the very least!).
