Pinwheels

When I saw Rachel of p.s. i quilt's pinwheel sampler, I fell in love.  It's gorgeous!  So I decided to add making a similar one of my own to the to do list.  Fortunate for me, Rachel has decided to host a pinwheel quilt-a-long and we all now how I'm a sucker for a quilt-a-long.

I picked up a Nouveau layer cake.  Since the line has been around for awhile, I was able to pick up some yardage for only $3.99 a yard!  That's less expensive than using Kona solids for the back and binding too.  Not to mention that it is prettier too.  


This morning I was able to make the first blocks.


I'm liking what I see!

I've been wondering why I've been seeing so many pinwheel blocks popping up lately...now I know that there is a quilt along behind all of it (of course!)

I love that noveau line. Your blocks look great so far!
