Candy Pinwheels Revealed

I've been holding off on posting any pictures of this quilt until it was completely finished. I'm glad I did because now I can present it in all its glory. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this quilt turned out. When I was working on it, I had times where I wondered if it was really going to be anything noteworthy. I don't know why. I guess I was a little unsure how it would look with so much white and green. But I have no qualms about it now. This may even give my whirligig quilt a run for its money as my most favorite quilt. Well... this is atleast a close second.

Its my own design- worked up on that most wonderful of quilt programs, EQ6. My mom quilted it for me last week and then I put on the purple binding over the holiday weekend. I love that purple binding. And all the wrinkley goodness that happened in the dryer. Ok, I'll quit tooting my own horn here. I'm just happy about this one.

Works in Progress

I just added a quilts in progress list over on the side and to my surprise, the list is not very long. I guess I've been in finish up mode for the past several months and have recently finished several quilts. But you know what? I'm feeling the need to something new and exciting.
The feathered snowflake quilt that I've got in progress was a big challenging and time consuming project, and I loved it. Since finishing everything but the border, I have started another quilt- the candy pinwheel one, and I'm not so sure about it. It isn't stretching me or challenging me in quite the same way so now I'm having second thoughts about it. I like the fabrics. I like the blocks, but this one isn't wowing me yet. Hopefully once its completed I'll like it more, but I still don't think it will have the wow- factor that I like. Oh, maybe I'm just being overly critical because the snowflakes took me about a gazillion hours to make and these are going together much faster. Here's a sneak peek.
