Navy, red, and dark pink. Another fun block.

Jennifer

This is as close as I could come to a polka dot. Hope it's okay. Linda has it already.

Looks like polka dots to me! Nice job Lois & Jennifer!

Sue

Happy birthday, Theresa!

Thank you.

Theresa

Here's mine, mailed with the April block...

There is still time to get your blocks to Linda to participate in this month's lotto!

I sent my 3 blocks in earlier this week. Nancy

3 in the mailbox this morning. I know - odd color!!

Good job, Beth. We needed green. And the big dots are fun!

Just got back from vacation and found a pile of envelopes. Will open them soon but wanted these four to know their blocks are safely in my hands:

Beth and Patty in Florida, Jennifer in Georgia, and Nancy in Kansas.

Jennifer's blocks were for Sept. and October. But, I still have 28 in this drawing. That's a big pile. If anyone has more in transit, or wishes to leave their name out of the drawing because they've won a lot, let me know by end of the day. I'll do a drawing tonight and post winner tomorrow. Thanks to all who have participated.

Just to clarify, I already have Jennifer's for this month. They came earlier.

Please leave my name out of the drawing. I have enough to keep me busy for a bit. Thanks everyone.

The man of the house has drawn the bean and this pile of 28 blocks is heading off to Georgia, to Jennifer. Congratulations, Jennifer.

Congratulations, Jennifer!

Congrats, Jennifer!! Enjoy the Dotty!!

Woo Hoo! A big thank you to the man of the house! This will be a fun challenge!!!

Jennifer

Congrats on the great haul. We will be anxious to see what develops with all those dots.

congrats, Jennifer!

Nice win! Have fun with them.

Theresa

Congrats Jennifer! Looking forward to seeing what you make!

Hey Jennifer, congrats. If you need three more blocks, let me know. I cut them out and never got them sewn. One each, Navy, Kelly Green and Bright Yellow with little dots. The white is a white on white print. Just email me through Houzz (at least you could on Gardenweb) with a mailing address and I'll send them to you, still unsewn. I'm looking forward to seeing this quilt.

Nice win, Jennifer. Congratulations.

Thank you so much for the extra blocks, BK. So very sweet of you!

Below are a couple of photos, which don't do the blocks justice as you can't see all the fun polka dots, beautiful wow fabrics, and all the perfect points.

Need to decide on the layout. Thinking I prefer a random layout (similar to the one shown in the bottom photo) versus attempting a diagonal layout. It'll give me something to think about while I sash them!

Jennifer

Wow is right!! They look amazing!!! Have FUN with that one!!!!!!

It's gonna be a beautiful quilt.

That's going to be a beautiful quilt!

What a fun quilt. It just dawned on me how much the pinwheels look like the state of Texas. Too much wine maybe? Jennifer, what kind of sashing will you use?

No such thing as too much wine! I see TX, too!

Honestly, Lois, I really have no idea. This is only my 3rd quilt, so I'm winging it. I found an inspiration photo on the web, but due to the variance in the blocks it won't work. So I'm thinking of adding solid white coping strips between the blocks (really just to square them up). Batting and backing are ready to go. Further down is a photo of the backing fabric (navy floral polka dots). The long arm quilter will take it from there and then maybe bind in red?!

But I'm open to suggestions! :-)

Backing fabric:

I really like them laid out without sashing. When you say ' variance', are you saying they don't all measure at 12 1/2".

Theresa

Gotta love those colorful pinwheels!

I have some smaller pinwheel blocks. I have a photo bookmarked for inspiration. Now all I need to do is get the motivation to finish 2 quilt tops. Promised myself I would finish those tops before starting anything new.

Your bright blocks will make a happy quilt, whatever the layout.
