Pinwheel Progress

I am back working on my California Girl pinwheel quilt.  I am almost finished with all the blocks.

 
  This quilt will be very traditional with borders.  I love traditional quilts.  They are so warm and cozy.  But I've discovered some things.  This is not the kind of quilt I really enjoy making.  I am not that keen on using solid white either (even though some of my favorite quilts I see online use white.) I know I'll like this quilt okay when I am finished, but my pinwheel days are probably behind me!

Nearly there and it is a lovely quilt. I have always liked that fabric range.

I thinks its a beauty. So soft and I love the green showing for the border. Pinwheels are sweeter to look at than they are to make.

The quit looks great but I'm with you on using solids boring I like to use whites or creams that have a print or pattern om them and usually more than one.

Your quilt is going to be beautiful. And I totally understand what you are saying.

Your quilt is going to be gorgeous. I hear you about the pinwheels; I did one pinwheel quilt (many years ago now), and don't ever want to make another pinwheel ;-).

Two of my favorite things...California Girl and pinwheels!!! You will love it when it's done, but I understand not wanting to do another pinwheel for awhile after this. It looks beautiful.

Every time I see a quilt with white I LOVE it but I'm the same-I'm not big on using them myself. I think after having 3 kids and living on a farm, I am afraid of white. lol.
