I’m thinking Spring, although the several inches of snow today would make the season questionable. I love polka dots and wanted to do something with a few of them. Polka dots are a happy print, and pinwheels are a happy block. So I combined the two and added an alternate fabric to come up with this baby quilt. I finished the binding this morning.
Once again I had a piece of fabric that was almost big enough for the back. So I pieced scraps from the front to get it wide enough. I don’t try to space my pieced strips evenly. I just pick a spot and slice the large piece of fabric. I added the squares and it still wasn’t quite wide enough (because there was a hole I had to cut around in the striped fabric), so then I really was down to the last of the fabric and just put together anything I could.
This will hang at the store and many quilters could figure out how to make it with out a pattern. However, I did write directions and the hard copy will be free at Ruth’s Stitchery with a fabric purchase. But because you are special, you can download it here by clicking on the title!
A bit of whimsy this time of year is most welcome! Really cute!
Love the Polka Dot Pinwheel Quilt could you email the pattern.
I don’t manage to check my blog often, so I am way late in seeing your request. However, is a link at the end of that post for an immediate download of the pattern https://atbquilting.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/polka-dot-pinwheels.pdf
