I sewed together various size strips until I had somewhat of a square. Then, I squared it up to 5 1/2".
I paired it up with a tone on tone white and cut that 5 1/2" too. I drew a diagonal line on the wrong side of the white, and sewed on either side of the diagonal. After I pressed it open, I squared it to 5".
Easy peasy.
Pinwheels seemed like a fun thing to do, so I made 9. Together with some sashing and corner stones, I had a nice little quilt in short order. The teal border adds the finishing touch.
Last time I was out photographing a quilt, I came across this awesome little shed. Look at that colour!
I thought this a great place to come back for a picture.
I'll be back in a couple of days with pics of show and tell from our last Moda club meeting.
Have a wonderful week-end.
this little quilt was inspired by a scrap series seen at Pleasant Home.
It looks great! The pinwheels look perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a scrap quilt sometime...
What a great use of bits of scraps! No one would even know it was made of "left-overs". So cute! :o)
