So the Pinwheel Party won't be happening at the Quilt Festival this year.
I have a part time job now and between that and the store my quilting time is seriously limited.
So...
I'll share with you one of my favorite, favorite quilts.
It's called Scrappy Illusion. I finished it way back in May of 2008.
It was one of the last quilts I made using an actual pattern.
The blocks look like they're set on point but if you look closely you'll see that they're really just pinwheels and 16-patches. Genius!
(The pattern was in an American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. I can't remember which one exactly but if you'd like to know I can try and find it for you. Found it! AP&Q June 2005)

very pretty! I love the fabric colors you chose for that. And I saw the fun pinwheels right away :) Gotta love pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I love all the bright, cheery colors! I am very new to quilting and blogging, but I have been a sewer all my life. Thanks for sharing...I enjoyed your blog.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. It's nearly thrown me off course, as I'm just starting a 9 patch as a gift... Had better stick to my plan though, as there's a time limit!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Now I can use my scraps to make this quilt. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE this! I have so many brightly-colored scraps to use up.. this would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the brights. I suppose someday I'll be sick of bright colors and wonder why I made so many quilts that way, but for now, I just love how cheery they are.
ReplyDeleteMy boss is adopting a little girl from Russia and I have been trying to decide what kind of quilt to make her. Now I know. If you could find any information about the pattern I would love it.
ReplyDeleteWOWEEEE that is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how to make that, no idea how to find an older magazine though.
So bright and lovely! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your quilt. I have a bunch of bright scraps that would be perfect for this pattern. If you could find the pattern/month of the issue that would be great!

ReplyDeleteA part-time job, a shop, tutorials and quilting these beauties... I raise my hat to you!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteTHat's one of the most cheerful quilts I've ever seen! WEll done!
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE! And since you had several who wish to know the issue, I too want to join the ranks for the specifics. I could almost do this without a pattern, but would rather know what the uncut squares and triangle measurements are.
ReplyDeleteyour blog posts and quilts always make me happy. That's why I keep reading. xoxo

ReplyDeleteOH! beautiful! beautiful! I am a novice quilter with sooo many unfinished quilts! I'm not "brave" enough to try to twitter (only just learned what a blog was this time last year from our daughter and finally jumped into blogging when I started my etsy shop...still learning all the time). but would love to follow your blog...Is there a way to follow you other than on twitter?
