Got distracted. Ran across a new to me video from Jenny Doan for a
Disappearing pinwheel that becomes a whirligig block. Had to try it, so now I have two finished blocks.
She made hers with the same background layer cake and another print layer cake. I can see why the background needs to be the same. Will probably make two more, sash them and use for the center of a baby quilt. I've ordered a white layer cake. Maybe I'll cut some of my many floral fabrics into 10" squares and try it Jenny's way. Makes a lovely quilt and from those two layer cakes one get two quilts. How neat is that! (as Jenny is always saying, lol)
My half way to a finish is the quilting on that isolette.
Trying out quilting lines on the diagonal with a little meandering FMQ. Saw it on someone's blog - but can't find it again. Gesh!.

ReplyDeleteI really like your Jenny Doan blocks. I saw that video, but I've not tried it, so I appreciate the tips about colors/fabrics. It's on my list.
ReplyDeletemust check out the video the block is very effective
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty block - it reminded me of the Cosmos quilt I'm working on! :) Thank you for sharing!
