I've been thinking about spring since the ground hog predicted an early one.
I
finished this pretty quilt late last month after getting the Windmill
die from Blue Wren. Such a fun, quick and easy one to sew. The layout
takes a bit of thought, much like some of the jigsaw puzzles I work.
My design wall came in handy.
Lovely
pink, green, and cream print remnants create windmills scattered
across the front and framed with natural muslin. For quilting I used
a spiral ruler and pale pink thread to stitch in the centers of each
windmill, then down to the next one. It's just right to emphasize the breezy movement of the blocks.
Primavera
finished up at 48” square. I can't wait to try another version of
this one. It will make a cute baby or donation quilt. But that will have to wait
until I finish the quilts I've already cut from my other two new dies.
