My Quilt #226: Scrappy Striped Pinwheel Small Quilt Top 2010
At the beginning of September, I joined Beth at Love Laugh Quilt for her Striped Quilt Challenge. I really believed that I would not have a problem … at least starting a project and even believed that I would surely finish one before the challenge ended.
At the time, I knew I had some striped fabric, but I happily envisioned myself going to the fabric store to add to my stash! Well, that didn’t happen. And, my limited stash gave me no vision and no plan. But, when I saw Beth’s quilt, I was inspired to make pinwheels. Isn’t it beautiful?!
It took me about a week, but I did manage to get this small quilt top finished; it measures 45” x 47” and is a lap size. I’m pretty happy with it, especially since I had a limited stash to work with. I do like how the stripes make the pinwheels look like they’re moving. Not so much in the picture, but in person they almost make you dizzy if you stare at them too long.

My Quilt #225: 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain Quilt Top
In August, I joined Karrie Lyne over at Freckled Whimsy for her Charm Pack Quilt Along. Yeah, I love to quilt-along! And I also love the 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain for Moda.
It took me a while, but I managed to sew all the rows and finally finished the center of the top. I still need to sew on the borders. Maybe I’ll finish it before the end of the month.
UPDATE: I never finished this project and decided to sell it on Etsy:
This beautiful quilt top is made with four charm packs of Moda's 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain and solid white KONA fabric. I love this fabric design and it is very hard to find and may no longer be available. It measures 60-1/2" x 60-1/2” without borders. Also included are 2 yards of Amy Suther "Sparkle All the Way" by Robert Kaufman fabric for the outside border and 13 leftover charms.
