Well, here it is. I've finally finished Zahra's quilt. It's not the greatest quilt. There are plenty of mistakes but as my husband so kindly pointed out "That's how you know a human made it and not a machine." Anyway, she loves it and that's all that really matters, isn't it?For those quilters out there, this is not a standard size. It's about 50x60, I think. (I can't remember for sure right now.) I try to make my quilts big enough to snuggle under but small enough to drag around so it's bigger than a crib quilt but smaller than a twin. The pattern is Pinwheels and Paddles. I don't remember where I found it but I changed the pinwheels to black instead of white to make the bright colors pop.

This is a lovely pattern - just like windmills. The children are gorgeous! Enjoy your shopping trip and take a pic of all your new fabrics :-)
Don't apologise for the mistakes. Your hubby is right - precision is for machines.
The quilt turned out wonderfully. I love the bright colors with the black. Good job.
Hi Shellie, I love the Pinwheels and Paddles. I think you did a great job! I'm wondering if that pattern isn't in the Thimbleberries book? Seems like I have seen it before also. I like the size..makes perfect sense to me..*VBS*
Its a very pretty quilt and the colors really appeal to me.
