Getting My Groove Back

I am getting my groove back. I can't really leave the house for long periods of time right now anyway. I put the binding on the pinwheel quilt today. I have debated all week if I would do some free motion quilting on this. I just couldn't bring myself to add the distraction to the quilt. Instead I chose to keep it very simple. And I am glad I did.
This is probably where the quilt will live, in my spot on the sofa. Although with heat indexes at 105+ I doubt I will want it on me any time soon.

Pinwheel

A weekend of sewing ends with results like this. The top edge also has a small pinwheel border like at the bottom.
I started out making the entire quilt of the small pinwheels. My problem was I liked the fabric too much and I lost the fabric pattern in the small pinwheels.
So I ended up making large pinwheels for the middle. Finished top size is 54 x 76 inches. Just need to pick up a backing and fabric for binding. No more quilt tops until I get this and my Love is in the air top quilted.

Pinwheels

There are very few traditional quilt blocks that interest me. Pinwheels happens to be one.
Probably not the best project to start working on right now. Not with the other things I want to get done, this looks like it is going to be time consuming. I may use it as a filler project. Two blocks done, only 214 more to go. Yikes.

Kids are officially out of school.
