I finished the Pinwheel Party top late last night. I like how it turned out, and I'm really happy to get it done. I am hoping to quilt it on Sunday and get it bound next week.
I sew the crazy pieced blocks and borders on a foundation, and I usually use one of my light colored uglies as the foundation--good way to use some of them up. These borders take a long time for me to do, and they can be a little tedious. So I amused myself by adding a few selvages along with the scraps. I wish I'd thought to do it much earlier in the process. I would have added them to all the borders and the crazy pieced pinwheel blocks too. As it is, they're only in the top and bottom borders.

I like that crazy pieced border!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! The border really finished it off...
ReplyDeleteI really like this one too, and agree that the border is perfect. Great fabric choices too.
