How could I think June was August?
I have a baby shower to go to in Aug. I have it marked on my calendar. I happened to look at the actual invitation and the shower is this month - June and this Sunday! Today is Wed. I have an all day obligation this Sat. My sewing room is non usable at the moment - new flooring is being installed. Oh my. The young mom knows I'm making her a baby quilt as she is a dear friend of my DD. I have the fabric bought so that is one plus. My pattern will be changed for sure. I don't have to have it done for the shower but I feel like such a doofus for getting the date screwed up in a big way. The baby will be born before August. I am challenging myself to have it done by Sunday. I'm thinking Warm Wishes pattern with alternating pinwheel blocks. I saw a picture of one made this way on this board and it's very nice for a baby quilt.

Why not just do a rail fence. It would work up much faster and you would not be so stressed to do the extra work (pinwheels). I just made one for my daughter with 1 1/2" strips. I cut the width of fabric in half to work with 22" instead of the full 42". The smaller length was much easier to iron and keep straight. Good Luck.

I agree, I'd be doing a rail fence for sure. Once the strips are sewn, the blocks are done! You know how to do them; they can be set in so many different ways....here's one (just disregard the pattern instructions for your purpose.)
