A quilting life...I live in the desert of southern Nevada, but I love the ocean and rainy days. I love my terrific family--my husband and four wonderful children! My hobbies are quilting,stitching,reading, writing, and genealogy.
I've been making some pinwheel blocks (Fabric: Bliss by Bonnie & Camille for Moda--Pattern "Paper Roses" by Joanna Figueroa)...this block with the red and paisley might just be my favorite...
Oh, but I love these four too...
And the red floral on blue background with the aqua dots...I ♥ it too! Finished quilt top coming soon to a blog near you!
You are playing with the cutest fabrics... no wonder the blocks are ALL your favorites! I love pinwheels anyway. Looks like a great marriage of pattern and fabric:)
Hi Sherri, thanks for coming over to my blog. I always just get a 'kick' of joy when I bring your page up. Your pinwheel blocks are scrumptious. I wish I could just grab them up, and bring them over to my studio!!
Oolala, love them! I especially love that combo with the red and pink fabrics. Pinwheels are so fun to make. I'm liking this block you are using where the points of the pinwheels stick out past each other, giving it more movement.
What is there about "pinwheels"--I love pinwheels too--your's are to die for--love all those colors!! Makes me want to get right off this thing and go to my sewing room and "pinwheel" away!!! Hugs, Di
Love the look of these colors... have just bought the pattern and am looking for fabric, youv'e inspired me to look at a diferent color... red... thanks hugs Dawn x x x
Wow, this is so beautiful! I just fell in the love with your fabric selection but can't seem to find it online (how is that possible?). I'll have to keep my eyes open for it. Great choice of fabrics and pattern!
love Love LOVE L>O>V>E> this fabric and the pinwheels!! I just did a quilt-along with Rachel of psiquilt and one of my blocks was that pattern...so cute. Can't wait to get some "Bliss"! Your pictures are so inspiring!
Wow! I wish I knew how to quilt! I've never even tried! But when would I find the time...and then what fairy would make pin toppers? I do so enjoy all of the quilting blogs out there! It inspires me! Thanks Sherri! You're awesome!
A friend on our (the American Quilter's Society) Facebook Fan Page listed your blog as her favorite quilting blog so we had to come back for another visit. You have great projects and a lovely blog, keep up the good work- we hope to see more from you in the future!
I love, love, love pinwheels!! I have been stalking your blog for some time and saw you last week at the track meet in your little town. I soooo wanted to stop and talk to you but didn't want to be a creepy stalker! :) Maybe next time?? I do love all of your quilts and hope to someday meet you and LEARN from you.
Hi Kim G...I couldn't reply to your question...so I'm hoping you'll come back and read this comment. The block is an 8" block, and the pattern is "Paper Roses" by Fig Tree & Company. There is a link to the pattern right at the beginning of the post...and I believe FatQuarterShop also carries this. Hope that helps! Have a great day!
