Lots of progress!

The final border prompt for the Stay at Home Round Robin came from Anja, who gave us "Quilter's Choice."  As with border #5, I had been thinking about what else my SAHRR project needed.  There are hourglasses (showing the passing of time), pumpkins, and sunflowers, bare tree branches, and birds in the air.  How about leaves flying about in the wind?  For that theme, I made pinwheels!



I'm going to be laying all the pieces and parts out like this - 

with the next step being how to fill in the empty spaces! 
I've already started working on that, 
but will save to share when I've made some more progress on it!

Meanwhile I did finish up block #2 for Melva's Little House Sew-along.


So now there are two of these!


Things are moving right along!

Absolutely you need leaves flying in the wind, and the movement of a windmill block fits that idea perfectly. Looking forward to seeing how you pull this together, with all those beautiful colors. Congratulations on making it to Round Six!

Pinwheels in the corners are a great addition to the design.

Your pinwheels are the perfect add for your ongoing theme. I love all your blocks, but I am quite partial to your Double Slice blocks!

I love how you are taking your thought-images and matching blocks to them. what a meaningful piece this will be. The spinning pinwheels are just perfect for the windy day Fall theme...
Lovely work, Diann hugs, Julierose

I like where you are going with your SAHRR. The House on the Prairie blocks are looking good. The touch of teal really helps tame the orange a bit.

Pinwheels are such a fun block, and they look great in borders, so I am looking forward to seeing how your SAHRR comes together! Those starry log cabins are very fun, so many fabrics to look at (and orange!!). I can tell you are enjoying yourself!

Thanks for linking up with SAHRR. You can't go wrong with a good pinwheel. Looks great.
