Shades
of blue, coral, and gray prints combine beautifully in today's nice
little wall hanging. This charming quilt creates motion with curved
shapes that remind me of spinning pinwheels or windmills.
I
pulled fabric from my scrap boxes and fat quarters to cut with the
Windspinner die from Blue Wren. I laid all material right side up, no fan folding on this one. The curves are accurate and easy to
sew; I didn't even use pins after the first few. I added a 3”
border of gray with thin black lines. Final size of Wind Spinners is
45” square.
With
light gray thread and a walking foot, I quilted flowing lines back
and forth across the blocks to mimic wind. I love the effect! In
the border I added a straight stitch 1” away from the inner seams.
