Started 12\/22\/13:\u00a0 <\/strong>I did a little maintenance on my Singer 301a machine and couldn’t resist the temptation to sew.\u00a0 I enjoyed making the Log Cabin Sofa Quilt so much, I decided to cut, machine piece and possibly machine quilt another small quilt.\u00a0 This one may be a baby-sized quilt.\u00a0 One never knows when an emergency baby quilt is needed!<\/span><\/p>\n

Late last night, I visited Bonnie K. Hunter’s Quiltville<\/span><\/a> blog site and checked out her free patterns.\u00a0 I can ALWAYS locate a pattern there I want to make.\u00a0 There are so many to choose from it was a difficult choice.\u00a0\u00a0 After narrowing it down to 3 patterns, this morning I made my final choice… Patches and Pinwheels.\u00a0 I’ve always loved this pattern!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve spent the day sorting and ironing fabric and cutting strips for the patches part of the pattern.\u00a0 I’ve finished all 18 tonight and here they are:<\/span><\/p>\n

18 ‘patches’ for Patches and Pinwheels baby quilt<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Tomorrow I’ll sort, iron, cut and assemble 17 pinwheel blocks.\u00a0 This is sooooo fast and fun using my 301a machine!\u00a0 Out of all my machines, I think I love her the most.<\/span><\/p>\n

Update\u00a0 1\/4\/13:\u00a0 <\/strong>Yea!\u00a0 The top is done.\u00a0 It took a little longer than anticipated because I got sidetracked by making Wonky Star blocks.\u00a0 They looked like fun and I couldn’t resist.\u00a0 I have no clue what I’ll do with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patches ‘n Pinwheels top<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

ANYWAY, the Patches ‘n Pinwheels top has a double frame of navy and light blue and a piano key border.\u00a0 All these pieces and parts are leftovers from other quilts.\u00a0 Though I haven’t done it yet, I plan to round the corners.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found some dark blue with light blue mosaic fabric (looks like tiny chips of colored glass) which is perfect for the back.\u00a0 It’s in the washer now.\u00a0 I even have a piece of high loft batting that will work wonderfully.\u00a0\u00a0 Tomorrow, I’ll start basting and will quilt in a hoop.\u00a0 The top measures 54″ x 42″.<\/span><\/p>\n

Update:<\/span>\u00a0 1\/24\/14<\/strong> \u00a0 Finished, hand quilted, bound, labeled and laundered.\u00a0 Ready for gifting.\u00a0 Start to finish – 33 days.
