I found these little blocks in a bag of rags and just had to put them together. First I washed them in a lingerie bag, gave them a good pressing, and sewed them together. You can see where the pinwheels don't match up but I didn't want to change a thing about them. I imagine a little girl made these and they were put aside and forgotten and someone just pitched them in the rags. Well those rags are my riches and now I have a sweet little quilt with a made up story. The backing is from my vintage floral stash. I just love it. The only thing is I wish I had hand-quilted it but it was so crooked, I was a bit intimidated.
Hi! I did a little bit of sewing for National quilting day. I am using my scraps to make a picnic/car quilt for my sister and her kids. I am using all the odd pieces from left over from quilts I have made. I am having a blast doing this.
