I was so intrigued when I saw this quilt, I spent the last two days piecing my version of it called 'Puzzle Time.' When my daughter saw it, she said it looked like a puzzle to her. Putting puzzles together is a favorite pasttime for both of us.
It was made with the Primitive Pinwheels tool by Primitive Gatherings.
I drafted and added the border design.
This is what the construction process looks like.
The tool was inspired by the Lil' Twister tool designed by Marsha Bergren, owner of the Country Schoolhouse Quilt Shop in Superior, Wisconsin. There are 2 sizes for use with 5" charms or 10" layer cakes. I have so much fabric that I think I may purchase one of the tools to make a larger quilt. It uses up a lot of fabric and was fun to make.
I like doing jigsaw puzzles too and this quilt definitely has that look. A very good finish.
ReplyDeleteThe pinwheels look dazzling against the black backdrop. What a great color combo you chose. And I love the border design that you drafted. You sure have a knack for fun designs!
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is a fun quilt, love the black...makes the colors pop!
ReplyDeleteI know your sewing is meticulously done and you accomplish so much - or - are there more hours in the day in Arizona? You are a continual inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and you really see the small pinwheels because of the black fabric. I too am sure your days must have more hours than mine here ;-)).
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to sew more everytime I visit your blog :-).

Really a wonderful quilt. I've worked puzzles all my life which is one of the reasons I love quilting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
