DQS11

On a spur of the moment I put my name down to participate in Doll Quilt Swap 11.  This popular and successful Doll Quilt Swap group is Flickr based (that is, you must have a Flickr account), and open to international participants.  I am feeling pretty chuffed to have been included in this swap, and also to have been  given a swap partner whose inspiration mosaic indicates a love for all things colorful. I am quietly confident that this will be well received (fingers crossed):


I look forward to a mini (although not necessarily quick) project now and again and enjoyed piecing these pinweel blocks.   I started my search for inspiration by browsing the Quilter's Cache quilt block gallery and based my pinwheel block on the general layout of Pinwheel #8, although I had to significantly shrink down the block size and re-do the math to make much smaller patchwork blocks. 


The finished size of each pinwheel block is 5 inches, and all fabrics are Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton Solids from stash.


Now ready for some fabric play with some left-over triangles to make a fun quilt back!
