120 blocks set 10 to a row for 12 rows.
84 by 96 inches.
I used rectangles at the beginning or end of every row so the pinwheels would stagger.
I decided to make all the pinwheels spin the same direction to bring a little order to the chaos.
I like how some pinwheels stand out strong and others are so low contrast they become ghost blocks.
The blocks finish 8 inches.
All cut from 2 1/2 inch strips
4 geese cut from solid with Companion Angle ruler
4 rectangles cut 4 1/2 inches and 8 half-square triangles cut with EZ Angle ruler
The edge rectangles were cut 4 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches.
My design, use at your pleasure.
Time to make a backing!
What a great scrap quilt! It is so lively and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun scrap quilt. Always interesting to pick all the fabrics and match them up to create a great scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeleteA great place to use up the scraps, especially the ugly fabric scraps that I have. Thanks for the inspiration. And congratulations on the finish top. ;^)
ReplyDeleteThat must have used a lot of fabric, the more the merrier.It's so satisfying to get the top in one piece, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love this! You did a wonderful job with color and value. A truly great scrap quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo many great scrap quilts! I like the way you used rectangles to offset the blocks; I think it gives a great sense of movement without being too chaotic. Also, as you noted, the way the values change as your eye moves around the quilt works very well.
ReplyDeleteI agree, somehow these pin wheels all work together, really like your style!
ReplyDeleteWild and crazy love how the fabrics crash joyously into each other.
