Pieces of pinwheels

Well, I did not make the pajama pants, or regroup on my next projects. Le sigh. Nor did I finish the quilt top, but I made a lot of progress! I finished all of the quilt blocks, and ironed them open, and laid them out to design how all of the pinwheels will interconnect. I think it will look great! See? The pattern definitely used lighter fabric for the entire gradient, so this one will be darker in general and maybe the gradient is not as obvious, but it's ok. You can also see helpful cat is helping. :P


Then I pinned all those individual squares together, and am nearly done sewing them into strips. See? Some of the last ones in progress are in the top photo; the completed strips are laid out on the bed below (the pattern is also there, for comparison). 300 seams overall, oof. Then I sew the strips together (15 big seams), easy! Ha ha.



Hopefully will get more time on this next weekend - will be a busy week of travel and singing and biking!
