This however will be finished. I have been admiring whirlygig quilts recently but have been put off by the thought of using templates. So I am doing a non template version - all rotary cut strips. I'm calling them windmills, but they probably have another name. Eight blocks were done in no time yesterday and I'm thinking I'll need 64. I'm not putting a time line on when I want it finished but I think I want this one for myself for winter.

Gorgeous colours! White really brightens up other colours - so fresh & pretty!! I can imagine how good it will look when it's all done.
Can I just say how much I love your quilts? Okay then. "I love your quilts."
Thankyou.
That's a great pattern! Is making quilts hard? My local sewing shop is offering lessons and I was thinking of giving it a go sometime...
I use a template and it's really quite easy and fast but I imagine your way is much quicker and equally as pretty!!!
Ok...I didn't get the sarcasm...I was thinking you truly were wonder Mom.
I love the colours that you are using - that block is lovely. I will have to try it.
So glad you cleared that up about your wonderfully clean and organised life (I saw through the sarcasm) Now I feel much better - tomorrow is cleaning day in my house.
I love your windmills! The colours are so fresh and lovely. It will be gorgeous.

I am laying here under a quilt I made for myself two years ago. It's lovely. I think you should make the windmill quilt for you. It's beautiful and you would really enjoy it! (Love the patterns and colours)
Hello! I found your blog via craftzine and the pencil pouches. That was a great tutorial. I was struck by the quilt in your header and had to browse until I found the quilt. I love it.
