No.912: A Crib-Sized Pinwheel Quilt

We finally had a sunny day to take some pictures for my Beautiful Things project!  This quilt was more than a decade in the making and woo!  What a comedy of errors.  Not all of the blocks are equal in size, some of the pinwheels were made going in the wrong direction, and I even sewed the bias tape on backwards!  Even so, I’ll remember it always as the first quilt I worked on with my daughter.  It will be carefully tucked away until we have a sweet baby (or a grandbaby someday!) come to visit.

DETAILS

+ Pattern: an old blog post from a decade ago (this tutorial shows how to make the blocks)
+ Fabric, thread and bias tape: from my stash (the border and backing fabrics were my grandmother’s)
+ Batting: crib-size cotton batting (purchased on sale with a coupon!)
+ Tutorial for hand-tying: How To Tie A Quilt By Hand from I See Stars Quilting
+ Tutorial for sewing on bias tape: How to Bind a Quilt with Bias Tape from Sweet Red Poppy
TOTAL FOR PROJECT: $16.09
