During the Christmas holiday,
I needed something mindless to sew.
Out came a charm pack that I had gotten from
one of my quilt groups and a stack of left over
polka dot 10" squares.
A bunch of half square triangles were made
and sewn together into a little top.
Yesterday I finished quilting and binding this little quilt
and will my first donation quilt of the year.
The colors are a little brighter than what is shown here.
Pinwheel blocks are so fun and easy to put together.
I quilted swirls in white thread,
which went very quickly.
A couple of years ago I had pieced a number of 10" squares
for a small backing, but never used it.
The colors were perfect for this top.
In addition, I used what wasn't needed for the back
and cut the binding strips. I never butt the ends together for binding,
but think it works for this little quilt.
This happy little quilt will be donated to my church
for the Baby quilt project.
Happy Quilting!

Pinwheels always make a great quilt. Nice job!
It is a happy little quilt, isn't it. Pinwheels always make me smile. A sweet finish, Ramona.
polka dots and pinwheels always work out well together I think!
Cute as a button quilt! I'm beginning to associate "Ramona" with polka dots....lol. Some sweet baby will love this sweet quilt.
Using things up for a good cause is perfect. I need to sew today!
Pinwheels are such happy little blocks. They look so fancy sewn up together. The scrappy background is perfect too.
