Mini Quilt Monday on Tuesday

With school and activities starting up again this week somehow got away from me...  I did finish my mini, I just didn't get around to blogging about it.  This week I decided to try making some 3D pinwheels.  They are super easy and rather forgiving since the puffiness obscures the intersection points. 



The pinwheels were made with Jennifer Paganelli Flower Power & Dance with Me and the background is some Kaffe Fassett shot cotton in Blush that I picked up at Marden's.  The shot cotton is a bit stretchy but I Best Pressed it in to submission.  I love striped bindings, this one is from Sunkissed by Sweetwater.



For the quilting I tried to design something that looked like the wind blowing.  I think it came out looking a bit more like ocean waves but to really move out of my comfort zone I decided to just live with it:-)
