schizoauthoressI am sewing together the pinwheels from the work quilt. I decided to change it from Sixteen-Patch-and-Pinwheels to framing each pinwheel block. It will be 9 x 11 blocks, probably the size of a double-bed blanket when I'm done. I found this really neat neutral fabric, white with black-and-tan designs, for the frame -- each corner also has an accent fabric, tiny multicolored polka dots on black. The framing fabrics 'pop' a little more than I was expecting, but this is my "Work Quilt" in more ways than one...
Though I've been sewing patchwork for years, the Work Quilt will be my first completed quilt. I'm having difficulties with the bobbins -- since the auto-winder is being crappy, I have to wind by hand, which takes time and the damn things are never as full as I would like. But it is going...slowly, yes, but going.
