At some point, I laid out all of the pinwheel blocks and figured out what colors I needed to balance out the quilt. I cut the hunks I would need and threw them in the project box. And now those hunks are cut and sewn into blocks. As you can see, I didn't need anymore green blocks.
My next step will be to lay out all of the blocks on the design floor and let the cats give their artistic input.
And yes, I love calling this design Chantal's Pinwheels...I have seen the pattern elsewhere, but it was Chantal's version for the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge that was so inspirational. And it takes a lot to get me to make half-square triangles.
I agree, it's a lot of HST for me too. I started mine "Last year?" haven't worked on it this year yet, shame shame, as I know it makes a gorgeous quilt.!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Half square triangles are a pain, but they do make lovely quilts!
ReplyDeleteI call them Chantal's Pinwheels, too, for the same reason. And I'll never be able to think of them as anything else!
ReplyDeleteI love these blocks, too, and this quilt has been on my radar for at least a couple years. Maybe 2020 will be the year. I’m looking forward to seeing your quilt come together.
