Its a good thing orange is this month's color, because I am working with it every day. I'm busy with my pinwheel quilt made with HSTs from Summer at Easy Quilter. Last week I showed you the strips of pinwheel blocks separated with white. There are four of them, each about 42 inches wide.
My plans for making a row by row quilt are taking shape, mostly trying different layouts. My wonderful mail gal arrived with a bundle of ten fabrics which I got on a terrific sale at Connecting Threads.
Isn't it amazing that I found all ten of these prints, half a yard each, and a yard of dark blue in one place? And look at all the orange! I got to work by cutting some WOF strips from each and have been trying different layouts.
In addition. I have been finding fun charms to add other variations to the rows, like these I Spy squares from MSQ.
Haven't had such a fun week in ages! Now I will begin the piecing and let you see how far I get next week.
I link up with RSC15 at superscrappy.blogspot.com, Sew Cute Tuesday at blossomheartquilts.com and Throwback Thursday at kristaquilts.blogspot.com.
Love all of those fabrics and the pinwheels are perfect.
