This is the quilt that nearly made me lose my mind! When I knew grandson #1 was on the way, I decided I wanted to do something out of the ordinary: spotted this pinwheels within pinwheels pattern in a magazine, adapted it to the colours of his nursery, and .... proceed to spend eons making tiny 1/2 square triangles. I've changed my technique since then, and had I known then what I know now, probably could have made it in about half the time! I still love the pattern, but will easily be able to refrain from making it again. Ever.
This one was for grandson #2. The pattern was a mystery quilt for a quilt retreat, and I picked material to coordinate with the nursery (lime green and bright blue in both quilts), but added some brights rather than pastels in this one. I learned two things: first, that I do NOT like paper piecing, and second that mystery quilts can be a bit frustrating! I love the stained glass effect that resulted from the print material.
The quilts certainly are different, anyway!
