...pegged to an apple tree...
...as you do...in the Saga of the Purple Disappearing Pinwheels...
This was a whole lot of fun to make...go here to see the Missouri Star Quilt Company video...while the tutorial uses a layer cake I, of course, ignored that bit and cut my own 10" squares from my chosen three main and one background fabrics. I only used 10" as that was the layer cake size and for the first turn that was close to following the instructions for me.
I'm thinking the
fabric I have left will make up a nice scrappy binding. The backing is
just plain purple homespun, nothing exciting there, and if there isn't
enough of the top fabrics left to make the required length of binding I
can put some of that in to stretch it out. There won't be any bordering going on - not enough fabric left to make it 5 x 5 instead of 4 x 5 let alone for borders and, although I only bought the fabric less than a month ago, the shop is 2kms from a work site that I no longer work at and it is 120kms up the highway one way so no, I'm not going for a quick shop - I'm just living with going with what I have and be done with it.
Now to set up the "big" machine on the kitchen table (the machine is too heavy for the sewing table), suck it up and get it quilted...oh the horror!!!
See you on the other side of what will no doubt be some kind of grand quilting fiasco!
Happy Stitching...
