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
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

Thanks Penny and Susan! It sure does feel good to get that one finished.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
