Pinwheel hexagons
Short one this time - but another finish for the year. I got the pinwheel hexagon blocks from Grandma last year, and it didn't take long to figure out what sort of background fabric to add to them. But they then sat there for a while until I figured out what to do with them. The twenty blocks didn't quite make a quilt size I wanted, and I didn't want to have a huge border. I'm not sure what made me think of it, but I decided to add a blank block into each row, and quilt it with the same pinwheel pattern as the other blocks. As a lot of ruler work was involved for the pinwheels, I quilted each of the rows separately, then joined them together with the strip in between. The borders were added later, and then some simple echoing around the blocks with the walking foot. So that is two finishes for the year, and no starts. I had to fix that last night by cutting pieces for a new quilt using a half jelly roll and background fabric, but I am also still keen ...
