I like the on point layout the best. Being on point makes the pinwheel look extra spin-y. That is a technical term- spin-y.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love the block-flying geese have always intimidated me, but your quilts are gorgeous-may have to try again!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I love seeing how one block can create many different quilts.
ReplyDeleteNice job updating a fg pinwheel design. The other pieced blocks give it pizzaz! Like those bright and airy fabrics too :o)

ReplyDeleteI love the block and I love the fabric you used. Love everything. You are so talented. Can't wait drool all over this magazine.

ReplyDeleteI have always liked pinwheels. Your quilt looks great.
ReplyDeleteWow, a fellow Illinois resident. Congratulations on having your block published! It is very pretty! I love the fabrics you used also. Hopefully you will choose me as I would love to have the chance to make all of the gorgeous blocks in 100 Blocks, vol. 3. I have been working on a pinwheel quilt for my granddaughter. It was the second quilt that I ever started, but I have joined several blocks of the month and haven't had a chance to finish it yet.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous block! Congratulations on making the magazine! Would love to win and create all these blocks!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to ever get one of these magazines. I see them and think, I want that. But then never buy it! I think I'll have to get this issue. That is, if I don't win it here! ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats...love your block! I have the first two issues and have to get the third as well!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be really hard-again! I so far love ALL the blocks I have seen (10?) and there are SO many more to go. Just like laast issue, and the one before that! this is fun, to have so many more good ideas for quilts.(Like we dont have enough to fill our brains already!)
ReplyDeleteGood One.

You spin me right round baby; right round like a PINWHEEL baby; right round round round; you spin me right round baby; right round like a PINWHEEL baby; right round round round !!! Absolutely love your block design - Big Congratulations
ReplyDeleteI love pinwheel blocks and use variations in my quilts quite often. It brings back childhood memories of holding a pinwheel in the air for the summer breeze to spin. I like the bright fabrics you selected. It also reminds me of the cog wheels in a watch or music box turning against each other. How time flys.(enough dreaming of projects I can make.) I have fabric to cut into pieces so I can sew it back together. I must be a quilter!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and thanks for the chance to win.
