Pinwheeling...

Hi all!  The summer keeps marching on.  My blog posting, blog reading, and sewing do not. I did finally get to work on my pinwheel quilt again this week. 

I am not sure where this quilt is going.  I will finish all these blocks and then decide what to do next.
I love to look at pinwheels but I am not all that enamored with making pinwheels.  They do continue to become easier to make with experience, and the blocks are being completed a little faster than they were in the beginning.

One frustration is the amount of lint coming from the Bella Solid Charm Squares.  There are little bits of tiny white bits that are coming from the pinked edges all over my cutting table, the ironing board, my machine, the floor and my bedroom.  I don't think I'll be using this kind of  precut again.  I would rather cut the squares myself and have less mess.

Oh and a construction update on our sunroom, aka my sewing studio...the windows finally arrived.  They were ALL stained wrong and unacceptable.  So now the supplier and the contractor are trying to compromise on what to do about it.  Sigh. 

Hope you all are having a good summer with time to get in a little sewing!

:o)

Next project...

This is a quilt of firsts.  First time I have used solid white in a quilt (because we have rust in our water and I just never felt like taking a chance with white.  But we have a new water softener.  Keeping my fingers crossed...)  First time I've tried HST's.  First time I've tried pinwheels.  And yes, I have some work to do to get those pinwheels right...

Sewing room update:  The windows aren't in.  They are actually four sets of sliding doors.  The order hasn't come in yet according to the contractor.  Right now the room is sealed shut.  Can't wait for fresh air!  Can't wait to move back in the room!
