    Hello all!

    I just pieced a couple of blue and white wall hangings from my collection of Dutch fabric!

    The pinwheels and prairie points is a version of the one Chele did recently and the star is from Rhonda's star point technique. Now they're in the queue to be quilted!

    Hope you like them! :D

    I love this technique - thanks Rhonda!

    First attempt at prairie points - fiddly but fun!

    OK - so that's one each, girls is it?! :D

    Ducky, take a look at Rhonda's free tutorials if you haven't seen them yet - I made the second one using the star points method. It was easy and fun to play around with the layout and point matching was a cinch! http://www.bitsnpiecesworkshop.com/pages/mainpg.php

    Thanks everyone! I'm quite pleased with them and the great thing is, they're on my WIP list, ie I had 'blue and white projects' as an item on the list so everytime I see a pattern I like, I can make it in blue and white and tell DH - 'it's not a new project, it's on my list'! LOL

    PS Must also say I was going to do one big quilt with the B&W but then someone on here posted a pic of a group of small B&W wallhangings over her bed - I'm sorry I don't remember who but thanks for the inspiration!
