First things first!

Pin It
Do you find the pattern first?   That was the first thing I did.....love this picture from the cover of Ellen Pahl's "PINWHEEL Party." 



Next, I made my fabric selection from my stash.  Not exactly as Ellen's picture, but quite the color blend to suit me.

Then, I made pinwheels/windmills:  18 pinwheels to make my windmill rows for  this 40" x 46" quilt top.    All stitched up and ready for the quilter.
