Pinwheels

I love pinwheels in quilts. One of my first quilting challenges when I began this journey years ago was creating an overall pinwheel quilt for a girlfriend's surprise birthday gift. Midway in my project, she announced to me that she was redecorating and changing her color scheme. Fortunately, I still had time to make adjustments to my work - and it all ended well. But by they time I finished 72 pinwheel blocks, I was an avid and accomplished enthusiast.

So when my art quilt group, ARTAA, decided to provide Christmas gifts to the residents of the nursing home where we meet, I immediately thought of pinwheels. I planned a black and white color scheme, but it became evident rather quickly that more color was needed. Perhaps this is a bit of overkill, but I like to think the outcome has a generally sunny disposition. Our quilts were very welcome!!! I wonder who got this one.........
