In a spurt of post holiday shopping I purchased two sizes of a really slick little template tool. It's called a "twister" and allows you to transform standard squares into pinwheels fairly easily.
You can read/purchase
here: I bought mine from
Canton Village Quilt Works, but they are relocating currently and are sold out at the moment.
This is the progression on a project I'm making for my Mom. I will update with fully finished once I get the quilting and binding done.
 |
| 5" squares cut from my stash |
 |
| Squares just sewn together |
 |
| 3" border added to squares |
 |
| Twister Tool lined up on seams |
 |
| First row cut and re-sewn |
 |
| Row 2 added - starting to see the pinwheels |
 |
| Swiss cheese left after all blocks cut from original piece |
 |
| Pinwheels! |
 |
| New border added to finish it off |
At the moment this piece is loaded onto the quilting frame as I fight with my stitch length regulator and audition quilting designs. Update will come...
UPDATE: Finished photos - quilting is done with my Janome 1600P, King Tut Variegated thread in blues and the pattern is called "Billowy". Binding is hand finished and of course - my quilt label.
Happy Sewing!
