Very sweet! I love pinwheel patterns and you did a great job placing your colors.

I see why you fell in love with that print. It's beautiful. Are all your "read as solid" colors silk too? Is it hard to work on silk? It seems like it would be too slippery.

Thanks Lois, This is actually a fancy woven, not a print. Let's see if these pix show the texture, it's something like a shantung silk, not one of the slippery ones. And also, it has a more subtle lustre, not the usual shiny silk.

& it's also ikat if you're familiar w/ that. See pic above w/ the edges of the color blocks? That's in the weave.

First time I've worked w/ silk in many years; this seems to have enough weight & body to take regular sewing shop thread on Bernina machines w/ regular needles.

Back to add, all the other fabrics are cottons.

Look what happened when I got it home. The multi-colored fabric (the silk) took on a mind of its own

Sure is fun to play with!!

I think I like this better. I especially like playing w/ the directionality of the multi-colored fabric.

The fabric is very pretty and looks so soft. Both layouts look lovely.

Did some sewing on this today, updated pix, largely for to remember how to put it back up.

Much better light at Gotham Quilts, paying for sewing time.

This multi-colored fancy woven fabric has stolen my heart, it's almost beyond words, just crazy!

Here's the latest iteration, a bit dark, but here's the additional row.

Closer up of this great fabric.

Closest.

I love it, its texture is grand.

That is a very cool fabric. Very different from anything I've seen. It's going to be a pretty quilt.
