Pinwheel Happy

This blanket was made for my second great niece! We are all very excited for another smart, spunky, gal running around during the holidays.  My niece wanted something quiet for her room salmon colors she said. So this is what I came up with for our new addition to the family. I love, love, love the fish from Heather Ross and the pink from Anna Maria Horner.  They both seem so happy together. This is my first pinwheel quilt.  After I saw a video on how to make them by taking a square and going around the edges then cutting it in half diagonally in both directions I was hooked.

D. C. Thank You!

I think we are always looking for ways to change things up in our lives.  Perhaps a new adventure? The Woman's March in DC seemed to provide that new adventure in my life.  I drove there with a good friend and stayed with her friend in Maryland.  This family was so amazingly welcoming and kind that I wanted to thank them with something that would  stay with them for a life time as did the memory for me.  I decide to make them a throw blanket for their family room.  They seemed to have many blues in this room so it was easy to throw together.  I had scraps sitting around from another blanket and decided to try an easy pinwheel pattern.  I loved how fun and fast this went together as well as how fancy it looks. I hope they will enjoy this in their years to come. Thank you.
