Peppermint Pinwheels

I finished the Christmas quilt I have been working on for so long! May I present to you, Peppermint Pinwheels!

The texture on this quilt is wonderful! I used a machine quilting needle and it worked beautifully. It is very soft and a nice weight from the cotton batting. 

The backing is from a king sized sheet and it took up almost the whole thing! I think I cut about three inches off. I bound it with solid white to have a contrast against the busy border print.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I can't wait to get all warm and cozy under my new quilt!



Pinwheel Progress

I feel like I have been working on this quilt FOREVER!!! I feel as though I will never finsih this thing!

Here is what I have so far:

All my blocks laid out.

Everything sewed together with two borders.

Ok, so I am stuck right now. This quilt needs another border that is a darker print than the rest to tie everything together. I need somewhat of a modern print since the rest of the prints are modern. Right now it is about 85in square and I need it to get it to at least 96in square. 

I have to wait until Thursday for the Christmas fabric to go 50% off at my favorite store before I can purchase what I need. So, this top is waiting for me until then. Sigh.
