The beginning of a new month means working on some blocks and our Across The Pond Sew Along project!

It's never too late to jump into "the pond" with us and start a project! |
It is Amy's turn to choose a project, and she has picked Pinwheels for the August theme!
Amy's blog, Amy Made That! has a beautiful variety of pinwheels, where you will be inspired and can even find a specific project to make. Amanda, of The Patchsmith, is working on her pinwheel project, and will be blogging about her pinwheel soon.
I have noticed some cute patterns that use pinwheels.
Allison, at Cluck Cluck Sew has a pattern called Peppermint Twist:

I made this cute little pincushion last week, and realized it actually formed a 'squared -off shape' pinwheel.
It is a free pattern from Very Berry Handmade :

Here is my little pincushion. It is a fun and fast little project to make! It is great for scraps. It measures just under 3 inches by 3 inches.

I am enjoying this Block of the month from the book. I think because I am making blocks that I would not normally "venture out" to try on my own!
Oh, so many fabulous blocks in this single post!!! I'm ready to start my pinwheel block this minute and am so glad I checked in first, for some inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSusie, pinwheels are my absolute favorite block! But I love all the blocks you've made so far. They'll make into a great quilt for sure. You almost talked me into getting back to sewing my pinwheel quilt.......but I'm so hung up on paper crafts right now! Dangit anyway! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your pin cushion! The colors are so perfect and make me happy to look at!! And your block....it is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteAll the blocks look terrific.
ReplyDeleteI love your Quatrefoil block! Especially the Stitch fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour modern blocks are looking so fresh and springy :-)
