Prim Pinwheels
Have you ever fallen in love with a block or a quilt that has a dozen seams and you break out in a rash just thinking about piecing it? Then, your blocks come out less than perfect and it's difficult to keep them flat and square? That's why I LOVE my layered patchwork technique. It simplifies traditional pieced blocks by eliminating some of the seams and pressing that can distort and cause lumps in your blocks. Our Prim Pinwheels quilt is the perfect example of that theory. Instead of pesky y-seams and lots of lumpy seam allowances in each block, I've layered triangles over precut Jelly RollTM strips for dimensional, primitive pinwheels that are so easy to make! |
| Intricate looking pinwheels made easy with layered patchwork and Jelly Roll strips. A JR + 3 fabrics is all you need to create a huggable lap quilt for someone on your list. |
 |
| Layer triangles over JR strips; stitch. Piece pairs together, then 4 of a kind. Layer quarter cut triangles to each side for easy diamonds/pinwheels that lay flat and measure the correct size. |

Beautiful quilt and always easy to follow directions, thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat an easy way to make a complex pattern ... I'm sold!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun seeing this complicated block broken down and made easier. It seems like there would be less bulk at the critical matching points too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful technique with stunning results.

ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and the design. Your method looks very easy to do. Thanks for sharing the patterns with us. K-
ReplyDeleteWonderful- looks easy!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever to create patterns such as this! I can follow a pattern, but that's about it. It takes a very creative and artsy eye to come up with new things like you do. My husband has a very good eye for color, so I always take him shopping with me to buy fabric. And the Kansas Troubles colors I am particularly fond of. They always catch my eye. So quilting is a team effort for me - a pattern from someone like you, my husband to help choose a color scheme, and then I do the sewing. Works for me! Thank you for sharing your creativeness.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern! It looks easy enough for even me! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern any thng to make life easier. Thank you for change to win

ReplyDeleteLove the pinwheel look and it think it's very interesting to see how you put the block together. I can follow a pattern but I can't figure one out without the printouts. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe block is very cool. I love seeing blocks put together in a different way, and in your case, much easier. This is a striking pattern! Thanks.
