I spent the morning walking through the Ocala, FL quilt show and it is amazing some the applique and hand quilting on those quilts. Some very talented ladies are in that guild. I'll do a separate post on that next week with my purchases. Must help out the economy, right? Thanks to MIL I had a bunch of birthday cash to spend today.
After I got home to a nice quiet house I decided to do a bunch of prep work. I have all my remaining pinwheel blocks all cut out and marked for sewing.
I did go ahead and put one pinwheel together..... I think it came out pretty cute. Of course sewing with the grey got me thinking..... a blue and grey quilt would look really neat. =) Next week it will be decision time with these pinwheel quilts. Time to think of borders..... I've been making little pinwheels with the extra bits thinking they would look good going around the quilt. The other idea is just strips of different colors going around the pinwheels....... Lots to think about.
Head on over to SoScrappy and see what others are working on.

Such a pretty block. Hard to believe it's time to wrap this challenge up.
Very pretty block. There is something so sophisticated looking about grey and black. I am looking forward to seeing all the blocks starting to come together.
Very nice work. Quilt show with money to spend. Nice problem to have. Joanne
