Where there's lots started... and even a few finishes!

on the design floor











I spent some time today making more blocks for my 'pinwheel on point' quilt. Deciding on my inset triangle border took a bit of time. Initially, I was going for a neutral border, as I wanted to keep it all light & breezy. I trialed a few options, including a selection of alternating medium tone-on-tone grey fabrics and then a Kaffe grey & white funky stripe called 'regency daisy'... but things still looked a little lost... and let's face it, a little boring! 



 I finally settled on an Art Gallery teal floral, 'signature' by Sharon Holland. 





All righty 
- after a bit more of a reshuffle to up the contrast a bit more - 
I'm happy and it's time to get these pinwheels up off the floor and all stitched together

Until next time, Linda

  3. That floral is a stunner... although I liked the grey prints too. Each option highlights different pinwheels and I think it really does come back to personal preference.

  8. Your decision to use that teal print around the outside of the quilt is spot-on. It looks really good, and is a nice accent to the interest created by all those scrappy prints. What a nice job you've done!

  9. Teal for the edges of the pinwheel blocks was exactly the right choice.
