2020 Finish-A-Long: 2nd finish ~ Pinwheel Path


I'm back with another finish for the first quarter of FAL 2020.  This was for a guild challenge.  To participate, we were given an old quilt magazine (mine was Quiltmaker Jan/Feb 2001) and a fat quarter to use to create one of the projects in the magazine.  This is the quilt I chose for inspiration to make my project.  The safety pin fabric was the fat quarter I needed to use.



I changed it up a bit using only 12 blocks and eliminating the inner border.  What a difference the fabrics make!    


I started off by using a jelly roll of Bobbins & Bits by Pat Sloan. I used the safety pin fabric in the bobbin & flower blocks and another black & white fabric for the pinwheel blocks and the binding.  I love how this quilt is so much brighter than the original from the magazine.

I used some Bobbins and Bits yardage with berries for the border.



The backing is from my stash, so I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I think it goes well with the rest! 



I decided to name this quilt "Pins & Bobbins & Berries, Oh My!"   I thought it fit better than just Pinwheel Path.  :)

So two finishes for this 1st quarter.  Yay, me!
