Today wraps up the Tickled Pink Blog Hop hosted by Carla of Creatin in the Sticks. I'm excited to show off my Positively Playful Pink Pinwheels.
I was short on crafting hours this time around, but I still wanted to play along and use up some of my Pink scraps piling up.
I picked a small block I knew I could sew up lickety split: Pinwheels, and I pulled out my 2.5 inch pink strips and cut triangles for 4 inch Pinwheels. I ended up with 35 different Pink prints for my Pinwheels.
The Pink border is full of pink hearts and brings my total to 36 different pink prints.
I cut all the pieces out in one evening. The next evening I sewed the top together. It took two and a half Pirates of the Caribbean movies from sewing the first pinwheel to adding the last border strip.
Maybe one day I'll use a real timer, but for now I suppose I'll keep time by the movies I play while sewing.
I got up early yesterday morning and quilted it before work. I used a pastel Pink thread and quilted an all over "whatever I felt like quilting" motif. Mostly swirls and partial feathers.
Since the quilt is small it only took about 45 minutes to quilt.
If you need a fun quick project, especially for a baby gift, try Pinwheels with sashing.
The top measures approximately 41 x 53.
Check out the other hoppers today to see more tickled pink creations and be sure go back and check out any others you may have missed.

Happy Sewing!

Leah that is a gorgeous quilt! I love pinwheels and pink and your quilting is always the BEST! FYI: the link on all the blog hop bloggers postings for your blog leads to a non existent posting on Carla's blog, not yours. I emailed Carla about it and made my link correct on my blog post, but if you don't get many comments, this could be why.
