The last of the stitcheries from the Sew and Sew quilt:Another two of my favourite blocks that I seem to use in a lot of my projects are the Pin Wheel and the Shoo Fly blocks.
Not sure what attracts me to them but it's probably that they work so well in scrappy quilts. They look good in any project in fact!
The best part of sewing for me is the chance to do something creative. It's very satisfying when I get an idea and see it turned into something that I like. (Sometimes it starts out as one thing and becomes another.) I'm happiest when I'm creating.
The finished quilt:
This is the quilt all put together. Finished size is 29" x 29".
I pieced left over pieces for the border and binding. For the quilting I did what I often do - machine stitched around the stitcheries and then did an stipple design over the rest of the quilt.
I had some fabric left over which I was able to piece for the backing (had to add a couple of extra pieces from my stash) so it also fulfills my SBS (Stash Busting Summer) requirements.
The pattern is available as a 3 part block of the month in printed format on my website.
