I love the quilting and piecing but am always looking for ways to leave out the parts that are not as much fun. There are wonderful ways to make pinwheels that are fast, accurate and fun. If you search on You tube you find many ways. Basting? I don't like that part much so I spary baste. Surely works better for me and is sooo quick. If it comes down to lots of pressing....music helps!! Even sing along.

For the same reason we take perfectly beautiful fabric , cut it all up into little piecies and sew them all together again. I am not a fan of math and especially no fan of ironing... but seeing those tidy units all pressed ... just makes me happy.

Oh, gosh... not 140 blocks! Just 35 blocks (5 x 7), but each has 4 little squares made of two HSTs sewn together... I don't know the correct terminology! But I ironed those seams open before I sewed them together into pinwheels. Every time I got one with perfectly matching points, I forced my husband to come admire it. Hehe.

I love the fabrics and finding the bargains,for my stash and quilting room tools. I love all my threads. I love my machine..I love reading about qulting, I love creating the project and the process is so satisfiying to complete each step...and then put it all together. I hate putting the quilt sandwich together...and basting but enjoy the machine quilting or hand quilting. Then giving the quilt to a family member and seeing their faces beam with joy for receiving a quilt from mom and grandma
