Someone talk me out of this! Who am I kidding, you all are enablers!
I love my Scrappy Pinwheel quilt - pattern by Kim Brackett. I made this back in 2011 as I won the quilt guilds block one month and came home with 11 of them. I added more scrappy ones and made this quilt. It is currently on my bed.
In 2012 I made scrappy ones with the RSC and donated these 2 quilts to a family that my sister was mentoring one of the girls. I also made 2 single irish chain quilts for the boys in the family.
I am not sure where the instructions were, I know the pattern is in a book and they got permission from the author to use that pattern as a monthly guild block. I took a photo of a block on my quilt and used that to figure out that middle part. It took me 2 tries to get it correct.
With the leftover triangle cuts I made these blocks.
I was thinking a scrappy blue one with a solid yellowish background. I could also use a light print and pull colors from that. I have a few yard cuts of those that would work well... if my math is correct.
We will see what happens.
Today Emily is riding a horse. Aidan is at school with the second to last engineering day with CF and NASA. Their presentation to the NASA engineers is next month. Tomorrow she will drive us to Grandmas to get some driving time, so I need to go with her. It will be a family game day. She will be getting her license in a month and needs a few more hours of drive time. That should add another 3 hours or so.
I snapped this photo the other day when I let the girls out to roam in the backyard for a few hours. They are happy and providing between 3-5 eggs a day. Not bad considering 3 of them are 4.5 years old and the other 2 are a couple of years old.

Love this pattern. I love the border on the first one. Enjoy the newest project. ;^)
Well it looks like you made some 'chicks' very happy today!!! Are you still riding horses??? And a new quilt project in the thinking mode--how fun!! And those are all lovely quilts you have made!
hugs, di
That's a neat block! I don't think I've ever made one like it, but looks like it is simpler than you would think. Your chickens do look happy! Glad they are laying for you, with egg prices still so high around the country.
What a lovely quilt pattern--will not even try to talk you out of it;)))
Once you see a quilt you like you have to make it--at least I do...
enjoy hugs, Julierose
Your Scrappy Pinwheel quilts are gorgeous. It was fun to see the variations that you have made over the years. Your youngins' are staying busy which is a good thing. They are involved in a variety of activities. Loved seeing your hens as well. I have wondered how they were doing this year. Have a great weekend, Deb.
