They are both very beautifal. I like the sunflower one but the pinwheel one is nice too. I was looking at your pinwheel on how flat the centers are. The pinwheel I did seemed to stand to much in the center. To many seems in 1 spot didn't like me.
You did awesome. :thumbup:

Hey Bill, Glad to see your pictures. Your quilts are outstanding. Love them. Saw some sunflowers today at a quilt shop and thought of you. It was very similar to the border on your quilt. Your work is beautiful. I'm teaching a "tote" class next weekend and I'll be using the FQ's you sent to make mine. Can't wait to use them.

Backing - would you go white, or a 1930's fun print - or a soft tone-on-tone......

Just wondering what everyone thinks.....

I love them both, but I think one more boarder and I am thinking a light green, pink or purple. And the back should be the 1930"s fun print.

Thanks everyone....you are all very encouraging....with regards to the pinwheel blocks, I can't take all of the credit...this were a part of the birthday block exchange on the Garden Forum Quilt site.....these I received in 2009....so I'm now just starting to use them up - I also will have a table runner and some pillows....putting them together has been a blast...

The sunflower quilt is because I love Sunflowers... Kathy you know me... :-)......and I just wanted to have something bright, fun, very SUNFLOWERY....and I think it worked......I didn't even plan it in advance..it was one of those project where I started with a block and only decided on the next block once the first was done....it was also a lot of fun....

I think I need to get sewing and get more done - but first I have to get these quilted........does anyone know a good, affordable long-arm quilter that does mailorder service.........

Hi Bill. Your quilts are great. It must be fun doing the b-day blocks....a lot of the work is done and you have a reminder of many friends from different areas.
I love your sunflower quilt. It is beautiful.
