You may recall that I’d made a whole bunch of HSTs back in April from the cutaway corners needed for Paris Flea Market Find.
Just on a whim, I made this little pinwheel from 4 of the cutaways, and I really found that little cutie to be quite appealing. For awhile now I have desired a good excuse for making a pinwheel quilt. Perhaps would be just the thing to spur me on.
By leaving that pinwheel and baggie full of HSTs out near my sewing machine, I was constantly reminded that this could easily be started and finished for a sweet baby girl quilt.
And just like that, I started it. I'd taken care to make all the HSTs as uniform in size as possible (note the very narrow seam allowances!). It was a chain-piecer's delight.
In no time at all, I had my pinwheels laid out with the leftover background fabric used in Paris Flea Market Find. I went to my tub of 3 Sisters fabrics for the border print, and voila!! A happy, cheerful pinwheel quilt for one of the 2 baby girls coming soon in our family.
A very cute quilt and you used all the scraps pieces! You are awesome girl! Enjoy your day with friends, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteOh that's so sweet! Little pinwheels are a favorite. Good job using the cutoffs. Always a bonus.
