Origami Pinwheels: The Florida Version
I finally got these squares (originally from the this tutorial) put together. This time for something a little different, I set them on the point. As a friendly warning, I found it took me almost 4 yards of background fabric to make it work; which led to an unfortunate colour matching problem: the Kona Maize has a fairly noticable variation in the tone. This was something I had never encountered before with Kona Cottons. In fact, their consistency in their dye lots is why I favour them over other solids because I'm notorious for only buying solids in 2 yard increments and I often need additional fabric by the time I finish the project.
Oh well.
Anyway...
I know everyone would rather see a couple more pretty up-close photos.
And a bit of good news:
This pinwheel quilt
has been sent off to my long arm quilter aka my mum. I hope to have some pictures by August as well as any words of advice she imparts regarding quilting the pinwheels themselves.
