I
clicked all my favorite boxes on this quilt, with the bonus of using
some of my scraps. I cut black and white triangles with the
Accuquilt kite die (it's getting a lot of use lately) and added one
to a corner on brightly colored and neutral 4 ½” squares. I tried several
arrangements on my design wall before finalizing this spinning star
look.

Out
For A Spin is 45” square. After attaching it to the Flynn
frame, I free motion quilted scribbles on the squares using pale gray
thread. Off the frame, I added simple swirls in the center
of each star. Backing is a black and white print; binding is a tiny
stripe.
On
a side note, our weather here in Tennessee is crazier than usual.
We've had no snow to speak of this winter, only heavy rain, making
our yard a swamp. Last Wednesday it was nearly 70 degrees and I
spent time out in the fresh air, walking and doing a little yard work. Today the
high is only 30 degrees, so I'll do my walking indoors. On my to do list: kielbasa soup, laundry, and sewing!
