March Right In

Hello, Ties that Bind Quilters!  March winds sometimes make us think of pinwheels, at least when it isn't snowing.  This month's free pattern is Pinwheel Puzzle, from the Moda Bakeshop.  Click HERE to get the directions.   There are two different kinds of pinwheels in this quilt.

By the way, if you haven't visited the Moda Bakeshop, you're in for a treat.  There are dozens of free patterns there, using Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, Charm Squares, etc.  And there's no law you can't cut your own jelly rolls, etc. from your yardage.

Our March work day for charity quilts was Thursday, March 2, at Sew Many Pieces in Richfield.  Here's Pat D., pausing her sewing to smile for me.  There's Micky in the background, and Mary L. cutting pieces.

Everybody was hard at work!  I spy Joan L., Nellie, Carol, Pat D. and Pat P. in this shot.  Somebody tell me who's ironing here.  (Is it Kathy D.?)

Nancy, Ann W., and Pat D. are working and talking at the same time.  I don't think that would work  for me (I'm easily distracted!), but they're doing great.

Mary L. and Helen are getting blocks squared up and yardage cut.
We had a great group of workers, several of whom are not pictured since I left early.

Due to a problem with tendonitis, I was no help at all, but I did take home some homework for when my arm heals up.

Speaking of homework, how are you doing on the mystery quilt?

I'm done with Clue#1, 20 nine patches in medium #1 and medium dark.  I'm still working on Clue#2, 48 four patches in medium #1 and light.  Mary M. promised it was not too difficult, and so far it's working out.  I just hope my colors turn out okay.
