I won’t have much access to a sewing machine this week so my design wall will stay be staying the same, but since I wanted to include a photo, this is Pinwheels & Posies.
I love this quilt. Purple always makes me happy. My friend Betty and I took a class from our friend June in the summer of 2007. We challenged ourselves to make our projects out of stash. I bought the light green; I had everything else.
Betty wisely made a table runner. Me? Not so wise. This is a throw-sized quilt containing 13 of the pieced pinwheels (all done) and 12 of the posies (blocks are pieced, but not all the applique is done). Let’s see, 12 blocks, 12 leaf or “bee” pieces per block = 144 pieces to applique down. I don’t think I did the math before I started this project, as that’s a lot of pieces for someone who avoids applique like the plague! If I ever get a tatoo, it will say, Born to Piece.
I’m also back to knitting socks. I wound some interesting yarn into balls and I’m going to do a little knitting.

ps: I added the UFOs I’m working on — you can see them by clicking the “UFO” button at the top of this page.
that’s going to be a beautiful quilt when it’s done!
i love the colors you’ve used.

Oooh! I really like that quilt! Pretty!
When this is finished, your friend will be the one who feels ‘not so wise’. Lovely work and kudos to you for using stash! I need to get my butt in gear and do the same!
That is so pretty!
I love your fabrics and choice of colors. How nicely these blocks work together. This is going to be a beautiful quilt.
I really like this one also and I love the purple/ green combo. I always thought purple and green go well together. i admire you going out of your “comfort zone” to do something with applique.
That purple one is GORGEOUS!
