Magic Pinwheels

Another quilt finished for January.  I purchased this Pinwheel Magic template from Aussie Patches at one of the craft fairs that I went to last year, and (eventually) I made this quilt with it.

Hard Rock Daisies

It's started off with sewing squares together with a border and then, using the square template provided, cutting the whole thing to pieces again.  There's a tutorial on the Aussie Patches website, but this is what mine looked like before it was recut.

Pretty boring really, and a dramatic reduction in size.  There's quite a bit of scrap after recutting, from which those on-point squares in the border were cut. Or you could cut them into smaller squares to use as a frame.  It was quite interesting to do, and I probably will get around to making another - in the fullness of time, that is!
It's been raining and raining here this week, we had 278mm rain in 2 days (yes, that's almost 11") and  there's been a bit of local flooding, but things seem to be drying up now.  Just as well, I thought we'd all have to grow gills!
See you next time
