Pinwheel mania!

Started the Pinwheel mania. I sewed all the way around the two charm squares. Did this the Missouri Star Way.

They are very cute! Starting to really like these color selections! My niece did a great job!

Thirty pinwheels down! 118 left!

The Hubbie gave me the most adorable purse! My new obsession with Owls gave him the inspiration! Love it! I am such a blessed wife!

TIME! Where are you going??

So....it is December 12.

How am I going to do this? I have not been able to get anything done! Not a single stitch. So much to do for the kids and the hubby. Christmas seems to steal my time and now I have less and less time to get this quilt done. Looks like I might be sending this quilt overnight mail!

Sigh! How does everyone do this?

Have a great night, all!

PS...Christmas JOY!

My Dilemma

Man.
I am not very good at math.

I knew that.  Before I got into quilting, I knew that I had to measure and do math and such.

However, I am not very good at it.

So....let's be honest. I avoid it.

So, when I put my quilt backing fabric up to my finished top and....DOH! It is about 3 inches lacking in width. With the selvages still on!

So....now I am problem-solving. How do I fix this?

So....I have cut my charms in half...and I am sewing them together lengthwise. Then, I think I am going to cut off the selvages and sew on this 2.5 inch strip to either side of the quilt to add width. I have no idea how this is going to look or work in the end...but Hey.

Gotta give it a try!

Finished!!

Wow! It is done. Thank you all so much for all the advice and help that you have given me. I really appreciate it! Now...to sandwich and quilt this sucker!

It came together so quickly! And most of my points actually match!

Woohoo!

The new pattern we elected...

The hubbie reworked this for me....as I was going to scream.

These are already sewn together into strips. The Hubbie and I worked to put this into a pattern. I was thinking the little shapes that formed would help give the eye a place to rest. I am not going to pull them all down and redo these. Lol! I have a Christmas deadline.

Need your help!

How do I fix this? I really don't like the two whit next to each other! Help!

You asked for pictures....so here they are!

Here are pictures of the quilt that I made.....please note that this is the second piece that I put together. I haven't worked on it for over a year because it just made me say....blah. None of my corners match...but....I don't think that my dad will care if it is perfect or not. He has the important ingredient...unconditional love.

Here is Unconditional Love quilt. See? Not a single straight line in the entire quilt

Here is a different look.
