Here is the finished quilt. Sorry I couldn't get a really good picture of it as my cutting table is in the way :-). You can read the original story behind this quilt, and why it's called "Menopause" on this blog post.




I added an orange button in the middle of each pinwheel block. Besides looking cute, it also covers up any unmatched centers :-).

Not sure if you can see the funky flowers quilted in the borders. Click on the photo to enlarge it for a better view:


The quilting on one of the blocks is shown here. The center blocks had straight line quilting on it and I added some buttons in the center of some of the blocks to match the pinwheel squares.

Block #2 Wacky Mood Swings:

Block #3 Crow's Feet

Block #7 PMS

Block #9 Senior Moments:

Block #12 Hot flashes:

Now to decide which of my many UFO's gets a turn next. But, my new Kaffe Fasset fabrics are calling out to me to play! Maybe I'll squeeze in a little new project :-)

Oh my God, Jacqui, it's awesome! I love the names for the blocks; they are all so appropriate. The pinwheels turned out terrific; I'm so glad I was able to "help". lol
All the best,
Susan
Thanks Penny and Susan! It sure does feel good to get that one finished.
I pieced most of this quilt on my trusty treadle and sometimes on a Featherweight if I was working on it at a sewing day somewhere else. I quilted it on my Bernina 830...should actually add a picture of that one in there too :-).
Love the names of the blocks!
