Pinwheel Sampler Quilt Top Finished
Although today is a pretty poor picture taking sort of day, I wanted to snap a couple pics to share my, finally, completed Pinwheel Sampler Quilt Top. If you’ll remember I was following along with Rachel’s Quilt Along. The top has actually been complete minus the outer white sashing for several months. I don’t know why I hate adding borders/sashing but, I always manage to put it off. That and sewing up backing are probably my two least favorite tasks in making a quilt.
I opted to add the mini pinwheels in the sashing–I like the addition. I also added in some extra pinwheel blocks so my quilt finishes out a little bit larger than some of the other quilt along quilts. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some better shots to share with you all soon. We’ve had bright sunny days for weeks and of course today I decide to finish the quilt and take pictures…figures! =)
Oohh, I love this! The little mini pinwheels are adorable and such a great touch! I too hate doing borders and backings. For me, it's that I don't like working with such large pieces of fabric. Too bulky!
It turned out just beautiful…I have 2 blocks to do before I can finish mine, hope it turns out half as nice as yours 🙂
Gorgeous!
I totally agree about the borders and backing! Your quilt is amazing. Love the extra little pinwheels in the sashing. Gives it a little twinkle.
Your quilt is beautiful! I don't so much mind doing borders but I agree with you on the backing. I'm having my first giveaway! Come take a look at http://straystitches1.blogspot.com/
Absolutely beautiful!
Fabulous quilt! I love how 3-dimensional it looks. And I adore those little mini pinwheels in the sashing – perfect!
Your quilt top looks great! I haven't worked on mine in so long . . . it's still just a pile of blocks in my WIP bin. I agree – I'm dreading the sashing!
This looks fantastic! I love it!
Those mini pinwheels are such a great addition
Mine still isn't finshed, This may be the inspiration I needed : )
Those minis in the sashing are darling! Great job overall. 🙂
Such a sweet quilt! Love the mini pinwheels in the sashing.
