2nd Finish

My second finish for the 2016 FAL is the Disappearing Pinwheels by Jenny Doan.  This one was supposed to be just a small throw but I got so carried away making the blocks that it has turned out rather large - about 68 x 78.  But I do love it and it's in reproductions and getting my taste back for them so......  I have an errant block in the corner.  when I made it I wasn't too fussed with the fabric combinations and was going to make another more pleasing one so did a different layout with it....and in the end didn't make another block and in the interest of finishing the quilt put it in and didn't bother unpicking it.

Disappearing Pinwheels

Finished up the blocks for the Disappearing Pinwheel.....went really fast but now need to do the borders.  Made one different as I thought it was too dark for the quilt but it looks OK and can't be bothered unpicking....I think.

New Quilt

Watched Bonnie Hunter on The Quilt Show today.  That lady always motivates me, so now I'm ready to strip all those left over pieces into sewing size pieces.  Spent the afternoon watching old recordings of Bonnies's QuiltCam and sewing.  After getting the NYB together I decided to try Jenny Doan's split pinwheel........so being me I just can't make one block, so have 2 done, 4 more ready to sew together and lots of fabric to marry up.  Don't like the bias edges but it's so quick and a cool way to do a block.
