Queen Rainbow Pinwheel


100 x 100

I will sure be glad to get a new computer. The background in this quilt is actually white.  This was a customer requested quilt from my etsy shop. She wanted the colors you see below in pinwheel blocks and white sashing in between. I love it when they know exactly what they want.


I loved the colors in the quilt, but for me I need a little more order for my rainbow quilts. It makes such a difference how you lay them  out. She was completely in charge of the layout. Some people like to make lots of decisions and some people don't. I think they like getting to choose and make decisions. Makes the quilt feel more like it was made just for them.


Kona Chartreuse was used for the back and the binding. I quilted it with a meander in white thread.  The blocks are 12" finished and I used the accuquilt 6.5" die to cut the triangles. I am finding that it is very helpful to have this info written down for later so I don't have to guess.

  1. Another good one done and off the books for you! So I am curious how exactly you went about letting her place the pinwheels where she wanted them...or does she live near you?

  5. I have the same question as Vicki, I don't know if I would be patient with someone telling me how to make the quilt. It really is a happy, bright quilt and the pattern is perfect for the prints. And I second Myra's comment--using the Accuquilt for the HST makes the sewing nice.

  7. I love it! Pinwheels are one of my favourite blocks and I actually really like the random colour layout. It makes it more whimsical :)
