Finished for Friday – Pinwheel Doll Quilt

Playing along with Finished for Friday at Lit & Laundry today…. and it’s my TENTH finish of the year!  Ah, who are we kidding, it’s my 10th finish in under three months. There wasn’t really any sewing the first three months of the year.

This quilt top has been sitting on the back burner since right about the time I started this blog.  It was one more doll quilt that I wanted to make to add to my Etsy shop, but the sudden flare of quilting obsession, two quilt-alongs, and a couple of custom orders always bumped it further down on the to-do list.  In fact, it wasn’t even listed on my white board of works in progress.  But I realized it would be a great little thing to bring with me to Maine last weekend, so I got the quilting all done and binding attached, and perfect little project it was!

It will get listed in my Etsy shop as soon as I get around to writing up the listing, maybe this afternoon? Honestly, it’s been an exhausting week, so if a nap wins out this afternoon, you won’t hear me complaining.

The Framed Pinwheel pattern was from a tutorial on About.com.  The fabrics are some fat quarters I picked up at Joann’s, and the backing is a Moda print from my local quilt shop.  I’m a sucker for a striped binding.  The final measurement is 19″ x 25″, a nice little toddler lovey, doll blanket, or even something nice to tuck into a carseat. Quilting was pretty much in the ditch with a varigated rainbow-colored thread.
