A few funky feathers to make those pinwheels fly!

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

  1. Fellow longarmer here…did you use the same color thread in all the pinwheels? I get overwhelmed trying to match thread colors to the blocks, but I never know what solid to use…grey or tan like I do when piecing?

    1. I always answer my comments by private email, in case the commenter doesn’t come back to check…but I think I will start answering some in the comments, as well. Yes, I am using the same thread throughout this quilt. A variegated pastel Lava that goes with the colors in the pinwheels. After, I finish, I will post a closeup of the thread. I’m actually able to do and entire pinwheel row with one start and stop.
