A new baby in the family means I have an excuse to make a new quilt. I bought a metre of some cute airplane fabric and after much indecision, I finally decided to re-create my 'Whirligigs and Pinwheels' quilt.
Whirligigs and Pinwheels is the perfect quilt for a 'hero' print with a few coordinating solids. It is a free pattern which I shared a few years ago and can still be found right here.
I quilted it with a loopy meandering design and finished the binding with the same print as the the outer border. I was posted to its new home and finally arrived so I'm glad that I can now share it without ruining the surprise.
I have been searching for a great quilt/pattern for a baby quilt, and this is absolutely perfect. Thank you for sharing your quilt and the pattern on a previous post.

ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Anorina! I love the way the red pinwheel blocks suggest airplane propellers with this novelty print as the focus fabric. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute quilt! Boy quilts can sometimes be challenging to make, for want of finding the right print and pattern, but this one is good. The colors are perfect, bright and happy. You're so nice to make it and send it as a gift. Good for you!
