Year of Making Stuff: Week 5

A soon-to-be three girl household deserves three girl quilts.  Finished today, I didn’t get a chance to wash it yet, so will take more photos later.  The purple pinwheels were left over blocks from another pinwheel quilt and the directions were to throw these away!  I couldn’t stand to do so, and once I figured out how to put it together (despite having to rip the borders off one night because the blocks are cut on a bias and it was totally warped, so I had to steam and pin) this came together pretty quickly.  Pinwheels, backing, batting and binding were all things that I already had.  I did buy the border print and the stripe, but bought lots on a big sale so will have some for a future project too.

There are still a few dirty piles left, but the 12 inches of snow we had a week and a half ago is mostly gone finally!  I didn’t mind the snow, but it is nice to see some grass again.
