My work in progress Wednesday is just full of colour. I have started a new quilt this week – another classic pattern with bright colours.
The pattern is called a double pinwheel and the components of the block are really simple. McCalls has a great link to making the block the traditional way – though I only used one half of their pattern. The link to their site can be found here. I once again raided my scrap box to start this project, as well as cutting into my stash a little – I was woefully short on purple scraps in particular! Because of the high contrast in the colours seams are everything and I must admit they are not as aligned as I would like with this block. Practice makes perfect, so onto the next block!
I have also finished the top for my pink and gold quilt. My niece quickly claimed this quilt as her own so there is a impetuous to finish it. We are now at the fun stage of pulling paper off the back. I do find this part of the process therapeutic but very very messy,
And last but not least, I have just finished basting the grey and green quilt I started a couple of weeks ago.
Now I just have to quilt it!
WOMBAT QUILTS 
Came over here from WIP Wednesday- and just have to say- I adore your color choices!
Thanks. I am really enjoying playing with colour at the moment. Some of it works, some of it doesn’t but it is all fun!
Honestly, I started quilting just to play with color! It’s my favorite part of the whole process…
The colors in your quilts are wonderful! Really brightens any day. I will be back to see more!
I have made the block like the McCalls pattern a few times before. I like your design option for this block.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment which brought me to your blog to enjoy your quilts … 🙂 Pat
You are a quilting machine – I am loving your new project. I’m still struggling to get seams to match up, and I’m using way less 🙂 Love the pink and gold quilt – smart niece 🙂
Love all your colorful projects! Especially the pink and orange:)
I love color, so I love your quilts!! The double pinwheel is a neat block. I like the “layers” of it. Pink and gold is one of my favorite color combos ; I think removing paper from paper pieced blocks is my least favorite job. Your gray and green quilt is stunning I am looking forward to seeing how you decide to quilt it.
Gorgeous! I love green and never thought of grey green…. hmmm ideas for the future.
So glad I found your blog, or really you found mine. I love all your colours. I’m going to take an hour in here tonight to look at all your beautiful quilts.
Glad you like the colours, I am really having fun with the playing and creating. I am also looking forward to seeing more of your stripe quilt.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! You have some lovely things in progress, too! I love the green and grey. I have a piece of vintage fabric with those colors, but I never thought about using the scheme for a whole quilt! Thanks for the inspiration!
Purple is my favorite color! Very nice block.
You have a great eye for color. I especially enjoy your pink and gold specimen! :o)
Such lovely quilts & such quick progress too.
Great color choices and blocks.
Your quilts are so vibrant. You definitely have an eye for colour. Great job.
I must admit I am in awe of your work. Your sampler quilt in particular is amazing.
Love the block and also the pink and gold quilt! Is there a tutorial for that one somewhere?
My wip Wednesday last week has the pattern for the pink & gold quilt. Let me know if you have any problems downloading it.
I really love your blocks, especially the green one, great colours and I love the patterns you’ve used.
Your niece is very happy with the progress of her quilt. She is very excited. She even had to show a friend her quilt today.
Glad she likes it so far. Now to finish it!
Your gray and green quilt is spectacular! And I was just going through and looking at all your paper-pieced aqua and red blocks — they are amazing! Well done!
Your quilts are just beautiful. I love all the colors and fabric you chose, especially the gray and green quilt.
I am loving that purple and aqua! And the grey and green is gorgeous as well!
