Ever think that you make everything to complicated ? I know I do. Why do I? This is probably one of funniest quilt I have made and when it’s for Grand #1 it’s SO worth all the time and work. The quilt has a finished size of 54″ x 76″ with all straight line piecing. Finished quilt top.
The writing of book 8 was so much fun for me. I planned a wedding and did not answer, ask or tell anyone, why or what I wanted. From the simpleness of the day, to the family and friends. It is what I hope my day was about, many years ago. Back then I sold individual copies of each story and quilt pattern. But things they have changed, the complete collection is available only on kindle. The book is over 400 pages long, 15 complete quilt patterns, and 12 quilt stories.

At the time of book 8’s writing, we lived in Windom, Minnesota. A VERY long way from home and I had some long days and even longer nights. Son #2 was in high school, working, sports and always busy, Husband had his first retail store and worked 24/7. And I wrote, The wedding was on….. I wrote, ate and dreamed of nothing but a wedding, for months and months. Then came the quilt. It was overwhelming, everything I’ve always wanted in a quilt. This one was designed and made for me, no one else, just ME!
There are 12 blocks, machine pieced and hand appliqued with vines and leaves.

I’m sure in the quilt of quilt patterns, this quilt block has a name, but mine for it is Triangle Pin Wheel. Somethings it’s just easier to go it on my own. Finished quilt block will measure – six inches by six inches. Sew triangles, sew into rows and then rows into the quilt block. This is how I make triangles – HERE
Hanging over a cabinet door at an antique shop I found this quilt. I made it into a quilt pattern for you ! I call this a simple pin wheel quilt pattern. Notice how perfect this center of the quilt block is and when I unfolded to another block, just a bit off and THAT’S OK !
