DQS11 ~ Windmills

I have thoroughly enjoyed making this mini/doll quilt this week!  I have had fun with color play for each of the windmill blocks; the blocks were a little fiddly to make - as is expected when making a small quilt.  The finished quilt measures just 17 inches x 17 inches.


For the back of the quilt I have used up some of the left over triangles and fabric scraps that were a result of piecing the windmill blocks.   I have enjoyed piecing an original free-form panel which I have called "Blown Away", and although I have added a hanging sleeve I hope that now and again my swap partner will take a peek at the back of the quilt and enjoy the whimsical scene.


I am going to try to be patient and not send this quilt off to my swap partner before the due date!
