Delilah Quilt: Pinwheels and more...

I'm continuing on my Delilah Quilt journey with the last of the block piecing.  So far we've had twelve months of blocks with twelve, nine, and six inch finished sizes.  The final month included directions for piecing 31 pinwheels and cutting 34 squares to finish at three inches.  So off to work I went.  Here's where I started.

Then I moved on to these.

And a few more.

At this point, I realized that 31 pinwheels are a lot of the same thing.  So with the last set, I decided to put them together into a variation and here's what I ended up with.

I'm happy that I decided to add a little variety to the mix.  Here are a few close-ups of my favorites.

Next, I'll be working on my layout and adding the squares.  My plan is to use one fabric for the filler squares to keep things a little calmer. After all, there's a lot going on with this quilt!  Although I won't make this quilt as a finish for quarter 1 of the 2018 Finish-A-Long, I am happy with my continued progress.  How are you doing with your sewing goals?

  1. Wow! These are the best fabrics in your pinwheels, and the broken dishes blocks add a nice variation. I've got one last finish I just might squeak in for a Q1 achievement. I want to do a scrappy binding up for it, with hand-stitched finishing - not sure all that stitching will get finished as it's a bed size.
