Yesterday I spent the whole day working on a quilt- it's been a LONG time since I indulged in doing this, and it was wonderful!! My new sewing space is definitely inspiring me. I LOVE the openness of everything!

I picked up these "Birdie" charm packs last week when Kris was here. I had intended to make a disappearing nine-patch with them, but I decided I wanted something more from them!

So I started playing with them! I discovered that I could make some really cute pinwheel blocks with them. I only used two of the packs for this, so I still have two to do something else with :)

Here are the pinwheel blocks quarters all ready to be sewn together!

And here they all are in halves...

And here is the quilt laid out on my design wall! I think I will move them around a bit- there's too much blue towards the bottom middle. I also need to make one more block. I made 48 blocks, but the layout needs 49. The blocks are made two at a time, but I can use the extra block for a label.

I had so much fun working on this all day yesterday! I have some cleaning to do this morning, but then I plan to make the last block and get the blocks sewn together into a top!
