New Hexy Flowers

Here is what I stitched in the last three weeks: a few hexy flowers in new colors for our GFG quilt.

I am not in vacation, I just want to spend more time with my husband- he had a surgery and now he is recovering at home.

 

I love this portable project! It's something happy to play with and it keeps your hands (and sometimes even your mind) busy.

We have now 40 flowers in all the colors and  I can't wait to assemble a row or two.I am starting right now!

Happy stitching to you all!

3D-Pinwheel Quilt

Here is the 3D-pinwheel quilt finished. I made it for Alexa, the 7 year old little girl of a special friends.

I am always so happy to make quilted gifts for her - it was the time for  a new quilt.

It was such an easy and quick quilt to make, maybe because it measures only 62x86?

The piecing needed a few tricks because of the bulky seams but the only step that bored me was pressing the blocks.
   

As you can imagine, more fabric is needed for the 3D pinwheels but I think it is worth it.

I did not plan ahead to make it so that I had to use only fabric from my stash. I can't say this is the look I wanted, but I hope someday I will make another version with the exact fabrics I want.

The entire design was dictated by the amount of white fabric I had (only 3.5 yds).

The quilting  - quick and easy, I couldn't afford to spend more than 8 hours for this.
I let the space under the pinwheels un-quilted and this makes the pinwheels pop even more.

For the pinwheels I used squares that are 0.5'' smaller than the background squares.
They are easy to make, I don't have pictures to show you, but you can search on Google if you want to learn how to make them. 

I hope Alexa will love this quilt.

I wish you all a great week!

Hello everyone,

I am glad you like the pinwheel quilt -  I hope I will finish it tomorrow, today I am working on something else.

I made this design for you all, the readers of my blog, I hope you like it and maybe use it someday. I think it would look wonderful on a pillow or on a tote bag.

Download the design

It is 16" square -  print it smaller if you need a smaller version.

It could be used on point too.

I am having fun coloring different versions.

 

Have a creative day!

3D Pinwheels in a Quilt

I just finished this top.

I am in such a hurry to quilt it and I can't write too much about it right now, but here are some (unfortunately, not too good) pictures.
