Design Wall Monday - and I finally have something accomplished. Check out what others are working on at: http://smallquiltsanddollquilts.blogspot.com/
I used a charm pack of Blueberry Park (Robert Kaufman) fabric, plus a background fabric to make these pinwheels. The colors are very fresh and overall I like the result. It's about 40" by 50", so a nice sized baby quilt.
However, this is not one of my better examples of technique. In spite of constant measuring and squaring up, I have ripples. My borders are not laying flat. I measured every row in this quilt before cutting those borders and cut them 1/4" smaller. And they still appear to have stretched. I'm hoping the ripples will "quilt out". Or maybe once it's been washed (after quilting) it will be OK.

Great baby quilt! The colors are really cheerful and who doesn't like pinwheels? Re the ripples: when I have issues with a baby quilt, I imagine all the abuse a baby can do to a baby quilt, and decide my issues won't matter.....and the baby wn't care.
I love it!
Sometimes, ripples are caused by the fabric and not the quilter. I think this is an adorable quilt, and whoever receives it I swear going to love it.
It's a great design for a baby quilt. Love the colors!
This looks fantastic! I also frequently struggle with ripples. Sometimes they will quilt out and sometimes they don't! Sometimes I find it's just easier to trim the border down slightly.
Hi Sara,
Pin dots and pinwheels - what a perfect combination! In my eyes, just the best. Those wrinkles will not be noticeable once you quilt and/or wash it. I wouldn't give it another thought. ~smile~ Roseanne
Very sweet! I like all the cool colors.
It's very pretty, love the colors!
